Full Experience
I received an interview call from HR after successfully completing a HackerRank assessment. My Super Day was scheduled for the first week of November, 2025. Two days after the Super Day, HR contacted me for the next steps, which involved verifying a few documents, followed by an HR discussion.
Round 1: System Design
This round focused on designing a Movie Ticket Booking system. The interviewer expected a detailed discussion covering various aspects:
1. Defining system requirements.
2. Proposing a suitable database schema.
3. Presenting both High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD), including class diagrams and snippets of code.
4. Discussing potential scaling strategies for the system.
Throughout the discussion, the interviewer also interjected with a few medium-level technical questions.
Round 2: Managerial Round
This was a standard managerial round where the questions were mostly behavioral and project-based. Key discussions included:
1. How I would handle conflicts with colleagues.
2. In-depth questions about my previous projects.
Round 3: DSA
The final technical round was centered around Data Structures and Algorithms.
1. I was given a medium-level problem based on trees, for which I had to propose two different approaches.
2. There was also a code review exercise.
