Avaya Interview Experience (On-Campus)

Avaya visited my college for campus recruiting. All rounds were conducted on the same day, and it was a physical selection process. The selection procedure is as follows:

Round 1: This test was for 1 hour 20mins and it consisted of three sections.

• 30 questions on aptitude for 30 mins. It consisted of quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning. Questions were majorly from ratio and proportion, compound interest, time and work, volumes, pattern matching, alphanumeric series, etc.
• 20 Technical MCQs for 30 mins. The majority of the questions dealt with computer networks, object-oriented programming, C/C++ programming, data structures and algorithms, and operating systems.
• 2 Coding Questions on the array, linked list, and queue for 20 mins.

Round 2: Technical Interview: Around 300 students appeared for the test and 33 students were shortlisted for the interview. I was interviewed by 2 interviewers and it lasted for around 40-50 minutes.
The interviewer asked me questions about object-oriented programming, computer networks, operating system, database management system, and data structures and algorithms. Some of the questions were

• My Introduction

Considering my resume was related to cloud and DevOps, they asked me questions about those topics as well.

• draw the structure/diagram of virtualization and containerization
