Interview
The interview’s difficulty level was pretty high but reasonable. Following interviews, there was the following:
Round 0: (Shortlisting of Resumes)
The CV is crucial to your selection at any company because first impressions are always lasting impressions. Due to the large number of candidates, the resumes were first shortlisted in accordance with the desired role and positions.
Round 1.1 : (Aptitude test plus coding test)
There were 2 coding questions in addition to the 20 MCQs. MCQs were built on the robust foundational ideas of C++ and Java. Another novel concept for me was coding questions. As part of GFG practice, the coding questions were of medium difficulty. After this round, this round was continued with another round.
