Technical Coding
There were two rounds, and in each round, we talked about mid to advanced C++ concepts, DSA problems, and puzzles. We went deep into OOPS, multithreading, and core design principles with practical examples.

Technical Behavioral
I interviewed with management, a director, and some technical folks. It was pretty relaxed each time, done both online and in person, but I never actually went to the office. Overall, it felt pretty good, but I didn't get an offer in the end.

Behavioral Technical
For an IT Intern position at Keysight Technologies, expect a mix of behavioral and technical questions. The technical ones will really depend on the specific role you're going for, like software, hardware, or mechanical. Behavioral questions are meant to check out your soft skills, how you tackle problems, and if you'd be a good fit for the company culture. They usually use the STAR method, so they'll ask you to talk about something that happened in the past. For example, they might ask you to introduce yourself, explaining your studies, what you're looking for career-wise, and maybe a hobby. When asked why you want to intern at Keysight, make sure you've looked into the company and mention specific projects, products, or values that appeal to you. If they ask about a tough project, focus on the problems you ran into and how you got past them. They might also ask how you juggle tasks when you have a lot going on, to see how you manage your time and stay organized. And you could get a question about working well in a team, where you should talk about your part and how you teamed up with others.

Technical System Design Coding
The recruiter told me to get ready for a tough C++ technical interview. But, they only asked one C++ question and some really fuzzy system design questions, like how to pick a programming language for a new system. They also asked about C#, like how to dereference a pointer in C#. The biggest surprise was a live .net coding test, which I wasn't ready for since I'd studied C++. It felt like the questions weren't actually useful for judging software engineering skills. They even tried to push me towards a different answer on the design questions than the one I thought was best, which was annoying.
