Veritas Interview Experience | On-Campus 2022

Veritas visited our college in September 2021 hiring for 3 roles: 6-month intern, FTE, and SQA. The hiring process consisted of 4 rounds i.e Techincal MCQ + coding, Technical Interview, Managerial Interview, and HR round.

Round 1: MCQ and Coding round

• It consisted of 20 MCQs of easy-medium level based on CS subjects like OOPS, C++, Computer Networks, OS, DBMS, and DSA.
• Reverse a vector or a linked list
• Roll the characters of the string (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/roll-characters-string/)

Round 2: Technical Interview

It was a technical interview with the manager of one of their teams in India. I was surprised in this round because for every other student it went for about 1 to 1.5 hours but mine was concluded in 15-20mins.

• The round started by performing the ritual of “Tell me about yourself”.
• Then he asked me to explain my projects which were based on web development and Cryptography.
• He asked me an open-ended question “What do you think about data structures implementation based on scenarios”. I started with the basic DS-like array, when it should be used and when not, and went on with Linked list, DLL, Queue, Stack, Tree, Heaps, and Graphs. I explained all of them with scenarios that were basically exaggerated versions of the coding questions I had faced previously.
• Then he asked me on implementing DLL and insertion and deleting at a position in Single Linked ist.
• He asked on SQL VS NoSQL and I went on with ACID vs BASE properties.
• At last, he asked if I had any questions for him.

Round 3: Managerial Round

This round was taken by a senior manager of Veritas. The interviewer was very calm and made me very comfortable before beginning the interview. It went on for about 1hr.

• She started by asking about my family background and what was asked in my previous interview.
• Difference between Private and Public IP
• Range of Private IP
• 4 pillars of OOPS and asked examples on all.
• Overriding vs Overloading and which on them counts in Compile-time and run-time polymorphism.
• Then gave me a puzzle on distance traveled by Bee (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/puzzle-3-calculate-total-distance-travelled-by-bee/)
• How google hides the IP address of its servers.
• How VPN works.
• How DNS works.
• About the achievements other than resume
• Difficulties faced while making the project.
• Few scenario-based questions.

Round 4: HR

The HR round was almost immediately after Round 3.

• They asked about Myself
• Where do I see myself in 5 years
• Hobbies
• Family background

Verdict: Selected

Tips:

• Basic knowledge of DSA will work but do focus on CS subjects more especially DBMS and Networking.
• Be confident in the interview and don’t look too serious or frustrated. These things are also being noticed.
• Do focus on Communication skills because students were also eliminated from the HR round.
