Zoho Interview Experience

First Round:

It will be an MCQ round.

Topics: General Quantitative aptitude, Some Logical Reasoning, C-based MCQ(find the output, for some loops, functions cases)

Aptitude is not very tough, but C-based MCQ may be a bit tricky, carefully read the question( there may be ‘=’ in place of ‘==’ )

Second Round:

It’s called the L2 round. Basic programming.

• Print snake pattern (they wish to do it without if conditions)
• Simple triangle pattern with numbers
• Given a string ‘children’, need to print the longest consonant substring, in between two vowel characters, here ‘ldr’
• Parenthesis matching

Once selected from these two rounds, you will be called for an incubation round, for about 2 weeks. You will be asked to come to their office for this round.

Incubation Round:

Generally, there will be an application development round. But college students sometimes they will ask to come for an incubation round, which is an extended version of the L3 round that lasts for about 2 weeks.

Here you will have to problem-solve daily for the period and will have elimination at the end of the week.

Initial days will be given simple problems like pattern printing and string manipulation.

Later part of the week, they will give you an application to develop( you can use C, C++, or Java to code). It’s a console application.

You will be given a day to solve, they will ask for extra features in between, and you have to satisfy all their demands.

Even if you can’t solve it completely, they will check whether your thinking is suitable for them. If they like your solving approach they will select you, even if you can’t completely code and give output.

Key factors they expect in this round: Code quality(you need a reason to declare even a single variable), Readability( naming conventions for variables matter too), thinking ability( they will allow you to code only if you explain how to solve it completely with a paper pen)

You need a strong understanding of Structure, Class, and Objects to sustain this round.

In the end, they will give you some techniques to study and ask you about them (For example RestFUL web services)

Technical and HR:

After these rounds, you will be called for an online technical interview round.

They will ask you about OOPS concepts, DBMS, and the problems you solved during the Incubation round.

HR round will be as usual typical HR round.

Finally, you can clear the interview, if you practiced ZOHO tagged questions from GFG and practiced some console applications like (ticket booking, bill creation application, etc) beforehand
