Technical Coding

They first give you an aptitude test to see if you're smart. Then there are phone interviews and then one or two onsite interviews. They want to hire intelligent people, hence the aptitude test. They're looking for someone who doesn't have other offers so they can offer you a really low salary. When I mentioned that the offer was a bit low, they never got back to me, which was pretty disrespectful. Even the developers who interviewed me didn't seem very happy working there. If you want a competitive salary or a company that values its employees, don't bother, even if it's conveniently located.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you explain basic technical concepts like polymorphism and argument passing?

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview involved three written tests covering IQ, C/C++, and networking. For C/C++, you'd be shown code and asked to predict the output. Networking questions would focus on fundamental concepts, like the OSI model. Then, in the afternoon, there was a personal interview where they asked about my resume.
