Round 2 (Interview 1): 1 hr
Started off with basic interview questions, then went on to the DSA questions:
1. Make stack from a queue
2. Question on Linked-List
3. Array manipulation question
Ended with a description of my project
[Cleared]

Round 3 (Interview): 2 hrs
Luck plays a major role here especially with the type of interviewer
No introduction or pleasantries immediately started with:
1. Implement OOPs concept (Pseudo Code) [Cleared]
2. Two sum (Done O(n) with hash map) and then asked to reduce space complexity to O(1) (started to use 2 pointers but couldn't come up with the entire logic)
3. Reverse singly and doubly linked list [Cleared] (interviewer didn't know python and was questioning my implementation even though it was correct)
4. Implement Heap Sort[Cmpleted half]
5. DBMS query[Cleared] (They didn't know DBMS asked me to send the code in chat so they could run it and check)
These are the few questions I remember he asked me a lot of theory questions also.
That concluded the round

Vedict:- [Rejected]

Interview Experience: The first one was great, the second one didn't even go through my resume no question on past projects or experiences. Both of the interviewers were polite and nice. The second interviewer was active during the session I had to call him out multiple times before he would respond. I was under the impression that it need to be an active conversation but i was told to call him only after I have solved the question. I know for a fact he wasnt paying attention as when i got stuck and asked for a hint he just told me two pointers and i was already trying to solve with 2 pointers for the last 5-7 minutes.

Tips: When I asked my peers about the second interview all of them had a different experience some of them were asked about projects and others were given only one problem to solve. They expect you to have good knowledge about everything (things that you have not mentioned in your resume as well) and prepare as if you are applying for a FAANG job. There was one common theme the interviewer had one solution in mind and any other approach wasn't up to the mark(was the case for one of my friends). If you code in Java or C++ it's a plus I had to explain a lot of my python syntax to them.

Mistakes I made:
Prepared according to package and the level of the company
Didn't prepare for all the CS topics (CN, DBMS, OS etc) was under the impression only things mentioned in the resume will be asked.
