Online Assessment
OA 1 - Debugging Round [20 mins]:
7 questions in C, C++ or Java to be solved in 20 minutes. Very easy to solve the questions
OA 2 - Technical Round [70 mins]:
2 Algorithm questions straight out of Amazon Online Assessment Questions. I got Merge Two Sorted Lists and Check if a Binary Tree is a subtree of another Tree. Very easy could be solved in 1/2hr max.
OA 3 - Work Style Simulation and Logical Reasoning Round [2.5 hours]:
This round has various work style simulations, which tests your decision making skills given any work related situation. This tests you on work principles, and how you would behave in a office setting. This is not much of a challenge as they are basically behavioural questions that are asked during other companies' interview rounds. Following this there was logical reasoning round usually asked in high school olympiads.Overall it was not challenging
Final Round:
1 Phone screen:
The interviewer just asked me to explain the code that I had written for OA2. Explained the solution quickly and the interview was over in about 15mins.
The number of rounds depend on OA2 and OA3, so you have to do really well in them. If you get 3 interviews, you will need to prepare well, but they will ask LC medium mostly. All the best for your interviews!
