Experience:

The first stage was an Online Assessment (OA) which lasted one hour, but the candidate finished in 30 minutes. It included a 5-minute SQL question, two medium-difficulty coding questions (one DP, one array pattern recognition), and 5 aptitude questions. The candidate was shortlisted after this round.

Round 2 was a Technical Interview. The interviewer skipped introductions and started with an easy linked list question, which took about two minutes. Following this, questions covered system design, OOPS, OS, DBMS, computer networks (specifically "what happens when you write google.com in your search engine"), and cache types, including what happens when a server can't find an IP locally. The candidate was rejected after this round and did not proceed to Round 3.
