Technical Technical Behavioral
It was a 3 round process. I had two technical interviews and one fitment round. The first round was on basics, second round was on high level design, and the third round was a fitment with the vp. Overall the interviews were pleasant and not too difficult.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
So, there were 5 rounds in total. I got through all of them except the last one. In the final round, they hit me with questions on stuff I'd already told them I hadn't worked on. Honestly, it felt like they were just going through the motions. Even if you aced the earlier rounds, it didn't seem to matter if they'd already made up their mind to reject you based on a perceived skills mismatch. My two cents: seriously vet and filter resumes upfront. Know what you're looking for and if candidates actually fit. Stop wasting everyone's time and energy with so many interview rounds. If you're planning to reject someone, do it early on. PS - The HR folks were super nice and friendly, made the process feel pretty smooth.

Technical Coding Behavioral
So the selection process was 3 rounds. First was an online assessment on Hackerank with 15 aptitude and 2 easy-medium coding questions, about 90 mins. About 50 students made it past this. Round 2 was a technical interview on Google Meet, around 45-50 mins. The interviewer, an SDE-1, asked me to explain my project using WH-words, which took 15 mins. Then some basic OOPs questions for 10 mins. After that, a LeetCode Tree problem (in-order traversal iterative) which I solved with edge cases. This used up 40 mins. Then they gave me a DP problem (max candies from corners) but due to time, I could only explain my approach. Round 3 was a managerial round, about 55-60 mins. The Hiring Manager asked me to explain my project again, but this time with more cross-questioning and discussion on improvements, taking about 40 mins. Then some behavioral questions like handling disagreements with colleagues or project interest conflicts. I had to ask questions about the company too. They selected 6 students in the end.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you perform an In-Order traversal using a loop method instead of recursion?
- How would you approach eating the maximum number of candies from the four corners of a table given a specific picking pattern?
