Experience:

Groww visited the campus for the Software Development Engineer position. The hiring process started with an Online Test consisting of 10 questions: 9 MCQs and one programming question. MCQs focused on time complexity, OS, Threading, and C++ basics. The programming question was a variation of a known problem.

After shortlisting, 6 students proceeded to the Technical Rounds. Technical Round 1 (DS/PS Round) focused on Data Structures and Problem Solving. Questions included detecting a loop in a Linked List and finding the next greater element. Puzzles like "1000 wine bottles" and a newspaper page puzzle were also asked.

Technical Round 2 (DS Round) involved a single programming question based on Dynamic Programming or Graph algorithms.

Technical Round 3 (Managerial Round) was brief, lasting about 15 minutes, and primarily involved discussions about the company's working culture.
