Interview Rounds

Round 1: Online Assessment (OA)

Duration: 2.5 hours

The OA included MCQs from multiple domains. It started with Aptitude, covering logical reasoning, verbal reasoning, quantitative aptitude, etc. Then it moved to CS Fundamentals like Data Structures, OS, and DBMS. There were separate MCQ sections for different tech stacks such as Python, React, Node/Express, PHP, and even a section for the Machine Learning track. The time was sufficient to attempt all questions.

Tips for this round:

• Practice popular interview MCQs from online platforms.
• Track/role allocation in the next round depended on performance in each individual section.

The next day, the shortlisted candidates were announced, and I was selected.

Round 2: Task Assignment

Format: On-site Duration: 2–3 hours

We were assigned roles based on OA performance, and I got MERN, which was also the role I had applied for.

Task:

We were given a server logs text file, and we had to generate the output in JSON format, including:

• Number of successful requests
• Number of error requests
• Payload size
• A few more properties (I don’t remember all of them)

I was able to build around 80% of the logic. We were allowed to use Google/documentation, but AI tools were not allowed.

After waiting for about 5–10 minutes, I received confirmation that I had cleared the round.

Tips for this round:

• Have a strong command over your chosen programming language (Python/JavaScript).
• Be comfortable with parsing, logic building, and data formatting (JSON, aggregations, etc.).

Round 3: Technical Round 1

Format: On-site Duration: 30 minutes

There were two interviewers. I started with my introduction, and then they went through my resume. They asked about my projects and followed up with questions like:

• How I deployed my web app using AWS
• What AWS Lambda is
• One SQL query involving multiple joins + GROUP BY

I explained the SQL query thoroughly. After discussing my research project briefly, they concluded the interview and asked if I had any questions.

I asked about the kind of opportunities the company provides, and they explained the work culture and growth opportunities, which cleared my doubts.

Tips for this round:

• Know your resume projects deeply and be ready for follow-up questions.
• Prepare a few good questions to ask the interviewer beforehand.

Later, I got to know that I was the first one to clear all the rounds so far only one round was remaining.

Round 4: Technical Round 2 + HR

Duration: 20 minutes

This was a rapid-fire round. The Senior Manager and HR Head were both present.

They asked me to introduce myself again, and then the Senior Manager started asking questions one by one based on my resume. I answered quickly and clearly, and he seemed satisfied.

The HR round included questions on:

• Family background
• Motivation for learning
• Strengths and weaknesses

I had already prepared behavioral answers, so I responded confidently.

Tips for this round:

• Improve communication skills and learn to present yourself clearly.
• Build confidence by giving mock interviews.
• In my case, I had already given 4–5 interviews earlier, which helped a lot.

Outcome

✅ Result: Selected!

After two days, I received the selection email. It felt great because I had been preparing consistently for the past 3–4 months, and in the end, all the hard work paid off.

Special Mention

The founder, interviewers, and HR team were very supportive throughout the process. Since it was an on-site drive, the entire process was managed smoothly and professionally.
