Coding Technical
I applied through campus recruiting. The online assessment had 2 DSA questions (medium LeetCode difficulty), an aptitude section, and basic general tech questions. The interview itself had two rounds: the first focused on general breadth, and the second was a problem-solving stage.

Coding Technical System Design
So, there were 2 rounds in total. The first round was a coding round that included technical questions. The second round was a design round. I actually thought it would be system design questions, but they asked me to design a coffee machine, drawing out how it should look, including sensors and indicators. It felt more like a mechanical design interview.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you solve the train chase question for the coding round?
- Please design the appearance of a coffee machine, specifying the placement of sensors and ingredients.
