Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
Round 1: Coding challenge on Hackerrank.
Observations : 1 coding question given to be solved in 75 minutes where knowledge of data staructure like heap, hashMap and deQueue was needed. It wasnt a trick based question but a question based on practical experience of data structures used in industry. I rate it 5/5.
Round 2: Low level design with coding round combined (1hr)
Observations : Design Patterns & Multi-threading expertise is what i was evaluated on. Thereafter, question on dynamic programming based on Trees to check problem solving and algorithm(Recursion). There were other 2D array based questions which was mainly focussed on problem solving and coding.
Round 3: High level design & Cultural fitness round(with Manager and Managing Director) (1.5hr)
Questions on Java, Heapdump analysis, Design pattern understanding, Java memory model & best practices. Design a Authorisation Service.

Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!
Starts with online test, then three rounds of technical interviews follow.
Not a lot of discussion, just go straight to the technical challenges which have to be solved in time
