Round 1 (Technical): This was a technical interview. The interviewer started by introducing herself and she asked some basic questions like my introduction, my skills, and my academic background.

Further, I was asked to explain one of the projects I have mentioned in my resume and then some questions based on my project, mainly she asked me about a particular feature of my project. I was able to answer all questions.

In the end, there was a coding question “check if it is possible to create a memo string from a large text”. I gave a naive approach first and then with some help and hints I provided an efficient solution. This interview lasted for about 50 mins.

Round 2 (Technical + HR): This was a relatively easy round. The interviewer asked me why do you want to join this company and what are your hobbies (both technical and extracurricular) were. Then he asked me if I faced any problems during my project and how I managed with the teammates. I got interrupted by some calls during my interview but he made me relax and he was very much supportive throughout the interview.

In the end, he asked me some programming-related questions and asked me to show their implementations in java. The question was:

• Find second and third max or min elements in an array.
• Swap two variables without using temp variables.

This interview lasted for about 40 mins. In the end, 15 people got selected and I was one of them.
