Applied on their careers site without referral and later recruiter called me and scheduled the first round of interview. This is for a Senior .NET developer role.

Technical Round 1:

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/sort-colors/description/
2. https://leetcode.com/problems/partition-equal-subset-sum/description/

Solved both the questions and hence the interviewer told me stay on the call for another round of interview then itself. After 15-20 mins, another interviewer joined the call.

Technical Round 2:
This round is the toughest interview that I had.

Coding Question: Given the arrival and departure times of all trains that reach a railway station, the task is to find the minimum number of platforms required for the railway station so that no train waits. We are given two arrays that represent the arrival and departure times of trains that stop.

1. What are LINQ Queries and what are different types in it?
2. Implement pagination using LINQ Queries.
3. Difference between List and IEnumerable
4. Difference between IEnumerable and IQueryable.
5. Differences between .NET Framework and .NET Core.
6. Questions on REST APIs and discussed majorly on idompotency.
7. SOLID Principles and their in depth explanation.
8. Implement Singleton Design Pattern.
9. HLD of Tracking Live Cricket Score.
10. Dependecy Injection.
11. Other questions on .NET and C#.

A week later Recruiter called me and told that I have cleared the technical rounds and will be having a HM Round.

HM Round:

1. Discussed on the past project.
2. In depth discussion on the search feature that I worked previously as they have a feature in their project too.
3. Questions on day to day activities etc.
4. Overall it is just a normal discussion.

Verdict:
Recruiter did not provide any information about the status of my interviews. I already have other offers in hand and I wanted to proceed ahead with them, hence I also did not contact the recruiter.

EDIT: Recruiter called me yesterday(after a month of interviews) and mentioned that I have been selected. However as I have other offers in hand I rejected.
