1. Then first LLD Round. Interview asked to design a some system. Interviewer seemed to be rude. Digged down on complecities too much.
   Most of the time was occupied there. Asked me to code the classes completely. Mistake I did was to use C++ in which everything is pass by value as compared to Java where it is pass by reference.
   Wrote the code, but it was giving wrong answer due to pass by value issue. Feedback: No Hire
2. Round was DSA Round. Interview gave a problem on Merge Interval part. Asked me to write the code. Solved it just on time. Feedback Hire.

Overall Rejected in 2 days.
