The interview process had 3 rounds total. The first two were an Online Test and then a Face-to-Face round focusing on Language and Algorithms, both done in one day. The third Face-to-Face round was about Language and problem-solving, which they took 1-2 weeks to schedule. Even after discussing salary and notice period, they didn't get back with an update (hold/declined/accepted). The HR experience was pretty bad after the interview rounds, which I thought went well. The whole process took about 20 days. The interviewers seemed knowledgeable, but communication afterward was the worst. I wouldn't recommend waiting for this company if they don't update you about the next steps promptly.

The hiring process involved three rounds. It started with a written test, followed by two face-to-face technical rounds on the same day. I completed all three rounds but haven't heard back. The whole day felt a bit confused and messed up on their end. My resume clearly states C++ and QNX. The initial round was a C++ written test of moderate difficulty, with many questions on templates and STL. After clearing that, I waited for the second and third technical rounds. The second technical round covered C++ topics like virtual functions and run-time binding. The third round, possibly with a senior architect, included a puzzle, OS concepts, and a task to solve a design issue and identify problems in some code.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
I had my interview at Symphony Teleca. The selection process was straightforward. First, there was a written round, which I passed. Then, a technical round, which was a bit tougher, mostly asking about data structures, networking, and my projects. I cleared that too. Next was a manager round, a mix of semi-technical and communication. Finally, the HR round. The HR person was very nice and discussed salary expectations and the job profile. She confirmed I cleared all rounds but asked me to wait for the offer letter next week. I'm still waiting and feel it's important to get confirmation on selection right after the HR round, as the wait for an offer letter is tough when you're unsure.
