This on-campus interview process for a Software Engineer role began with a resume shortlisting, where students with a CPI above 6.5 were eligible.
The Case Interview included a DSA question on simple graphs using DFS, with a hint for optimization using memoization. Another part was a game design question, requiring the design of data structures for players and ranks, and implementing `add_player`, `get_rank`, and `update_score` methods with O(1) or O(log n) time complexity.
The Technical Interview, conducted by a senior interviewer, did not involve coding questions. Instead, it focused on situational-based questions and an in-depth discussion of the candidate's projects and previous internships.
The final HR round, lasting 20-25 minutes, was a general discussion with an India Engineering team lead manager. It covered basic behavioral questions, as well as the candidate's Positions of Responsibility (PORs) and co-curricular activities.
