The interviewer was calm and patient. They listened to my responses and asked further questions about my projects, the skills I mentioned, my previous experience, and my reasons for leaving my last company. They also inquired about the timeline of my experience at that company and my academic projects.

So I had this interview for a Software Developer role. First was an aptitude round, like 30 questions, pretty easy to moderate, mostly about speed and time. Then round 2 was coding, 4 questions in an hour, also easy to moderate, speed was key. Round 3 was a technical interview where they first asked about my projects and the tech I used. Then a basic coding question to find factorial using recursion, and some database questions about joins. That went pretty well. Round 4 was another technical interview, where they asked about Java, OOPs, data structures. Then a coding question to find the nth Fibonacci number using recursion, and a logic puzzle about three mislabeled jars. There was another round after that but I got selected after this one.

Confirmed questions8 questions
  • Aptitude round of 30 question of 1 mark each with negative marking of 0.25 which were easy to moderate mostly about speed-time etc.
