Round by round

  1. 1

    DSA Round90 min

    Focused on Data Structures and Algorithms.The interviewer had me dive into a detailed problem-solving session covering a range of topics. The questions included arrays and strings problems from the Striver’s SDE sheet, some backtracking challenges, and a few basic recursion problems. It was a thorough check of my fundamentals and problem-solving skills.

  2. 2

    Resume Discussion + Backend Fundamentals60 min

    The interviewer went deep into my projects. I remember them being quite interested in why I made certain technical decisions. Questions:

    • Lots of questions about the projects I had listed on my resume.
    • Specifically, they asked, "Why did you choose to use MongoDB for that project, and why not SQL?"
  3. 3

    HR Round45 min

    This round was a relaxed, general conversation focused on getting to know me better as a person. They asked about my passions, what really motivates me and what I enjoy doing outside of work. We also talked about my hobbies, like how I spend my free time, which helped them understand my personality and interests. The questions were mostly typical HR ones, designed to see if I’d be a good cultural fit and how well I’d blend with the team. It felt like a genuine, friendly chat rather than a formal interview. This round gave me a chance to share more about myself beyond just technical skills and explain what drives me both professionally and personally.
