Technical Interview 2 – Problem Solving Round (1 hr): I was asked a few questions about the current projects that I’m working on. Few questions from Cryptography as one of my college projects had the Image Encryption module.

2. Given an array A[] and a number x, check for pair in A[] with sum as x.

Leadership & Social Change Interview (1 hr 30 mins) This was more like a behavioural/cultural fit round. A typical one.
