Round 1 was an Online Assessment (OA), a 90-105 minute test on HackerRank or HackerEarth with 3 medium-hard DSA problems (tree, graphs, DP). You needed to solve at least 2 fully with optimal solutions to pass all test cases. Round 2 was a Machine Coding session, a 60-90 minute live coding challenge to build a mini-system (like inventory, social feed, or Facebook-like features) using OOP, design patterns, and clean code. After building, you had to discuss trade-offs, test cases, and scalability. Round 3 was a Resume and Basics interview with the hiring manager, lasting 30-45 minutes. It involved deep dives into your resume and projects (especially backend stuff like Java/Spring Boot, Kafka at Meesho), CS fundamentals (caching, ACID), behavioral questions, and some light system design. No heavy coding in this round, but you needed to explain your contributions clearly.

Coding System Design Technical Behavioral
So first there was an online assessment with 3 DSA questions that were medium to hard difficulty. After passing that, there were 3 interview rounds. The first round was focused on DSA and LLD. The second round was a Low Level Design round. The last round was with a manager or senior person.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- A DSA question was asked.
- A LLD question similar to a restaurant management system with order tracking and various other features was asked.
- A simple discussion on resume was conducted.

Coding Coding
So first there was an online assessment on hackerearch with 3 questions, 2 worth 50 each and the last one worth 100, all using a safe browser. Then Interview 1 was a DSA question. They were looking for a solution based on concepts like binary search which could also be solved using a segment tree, but the constraints required understanding policy-based data structures. I proposed a lower_bound approach and got selected for round 2. Round 2 was an LLD round. The interviewer presented a CarPooling LLD question on HackerEarth and asked me to write code to pass the test cases. I spent too much time explaining and by the end, ran out of time and couldn't get it to run successfully.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- For a DSA question, explain how a binary search concept could be solved using a segment tree, emphasizing the need for policy-based data structure understanding to meet the given constraints.
- Given the CarPooling LLD question on HackerEarth, write code that will pass the test cases.

Quoted word for word from Meesho interview reports.
“Given a Binary Search Tree, find a pair of nodes that sum up to a specific target value.”
Read reports →“Given two arrays, find common elements in ascending order. Hashing can be used to solve this efficiently.”
Read reports →“Can you find the size of each island given a 0-1 matrix where 1s form islands?”
Read reports →“Implement a function to add two numbers represented by linked lists without reversing them, likely using a stack.”
Read reports →“Implement a shopping cart with features like add, delete, calculate final amount, and add discount in C++.”
Read report →“Implement the code for the snake and ladders game, which involves completing 3-4 methods.”
Read report →“Design a polling system where a person can cast their vote, making sure to represent it with various classes.”
Read report →“Could you determine if one string is a substring of another, considering all possible cases?”
