I have attended the Wadhwani AI – Android Engineer position interview on Jun 17, 2020. There was a total of four rounds for this position and each round was too challenging. These rounds were.

Round 2 (Online Test 25 minutes): This assessment consisted of five Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and one Programming Question on HackerEarth and candidates need to complete this test within a time. However, this test objective is to know how a candidate knows the basics of android.

Round 3 (Exploratory Call 60 minutes): This assessment consisted of live coding and Android programming related questions on HackerEarth. Here, the interviewer will write some questions on the HackerEarth screen and the candidate has to compile the code or need to find the bugs in the code. However, the interviewer can ask verbally how can solve this problem or what is wrong with this code.
Expectations:
- Ability to identify problem types and apply conventionally known techniques to solve them.

Round 4 (Managerial, HR 60 minutes): This is the final round and between candidate and Interviewer, and this time interviewers maybe some higher authority of the company occupied with HR. Believe yourself and give the proper answer, what they ask, and just focus on the question and try to give an answer in a short time.
