Round 2: Technical Interview (45 minutes)

Conducted on Google Meet, the interviewer began with an introduction, followed by the candidate's introduction.

The interviewer asked the candidate to open an IDE and share their screen. Two DSA problems were given in this round.

Discussion on the candidate's internship experience covered the problem statement, tech stack, factors for choosing the stack, outcome, and project impact.

The interviewer then shared a Google Doc link and asked the candidate to write a function to solve a given problem.

The candidate was shortlisted for the next round.

Round 3: Hiring Manager Interview (1 hour)

This round involved two interviewers and was described as more of a discussion session.

The candidate's internship experience was discussed in detail, including the problem statement, tech stack, and project impact.

A problem was given on a Google Doc, and the candidate was asked to write a function to solve it.

The candidate was ultimately selected.

Tips: Practice DSA regularly, cover standard questions, explain your approach (brute force then optimize), and remain calm.
