Oct 18: Invited for final round of interviews

Nov 2: Final Round day

Round 1:

This round was completely unexpected. I was first asked to quickly introduce myself. I was being interviewed for a particular team. They first asked me a guesstimate type of question related to big data/data science, kind of like a case study. The second question was about designing a system in the technology that I work on. Again, extremely difficult and out of the scope of a typical SWE Intern interview. This round was not technical, not behavioral and completely came as a shocker to me. However, the interviewer was very pleasant.

Round 2:

In this round as well I was first asked to introduce myself and then we proceeded to solve a question via Codility.

This time, the interviewer seemed uninterested the entire time.
