🧪 Online Assessment

• Included multiple-choice questions focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA).
• Followed by 2 basic coding problems, testing implementation and problem-solving skills.
• The test was time-bound, requiring quick thinking and efficient coding.
  Overall, a balanced and fair assessment to shortlist candidates for technical rounds.

🧠 Technical Round 1: DSA-Oriented

Focused heavily on coding problems related to DSA.
Emphasis on:

• Time and space complexity analysis.
• Alternative approaches to problems.
• Interviewer encouraged explaining the thought process clearly.
• Required solid command over core algorithms and optimization techniques.

⚙️ Technical Round 2: System Design + Core CS Concepts

Questions revolved around:

• Implementing data structures from scratch.
• Understanding hashing and rehashing.
• Polymorphism, browser internals, and basic system design.
• Also included Computer Networks (CN) and Operating Systems (OS) topics.
• Faced some difficulty due to non-CS background, especially in CN/OS areas.
• Interviewer was patient and open to explanations, making it a constructive learning experience.

❌ Final Verdict

Did not get selected.
Feedback indicated:

• Strong in DSA and problem-solving.
• Need to improve understanding of core CS subjects, especially CN and OS.

💡 Reflection

• Experience revealed the importance of being well-rounded, not just a good coder.
• Non-selection turned into a motivation to learn and improve on weak areas.

Planning to cover:

• Operating Systems, Computer Networks, System Design.
• Build deeper knowledge beyond standard coding practice.

✅ Advice to Others

Don’t just practice DSA—review CN, OS, and System Design.

Focus on:

• Explaining your approach and trade-offs.
• Clean, optimal code with proper reasoning.
• Prepare for both theory and practical implementation.
