BengaluruPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process had two rounds, and each one included two DSA medium-hard questions.

I also got only one leadership principles question, and it showed up in the second round.

The timing around preparation was tight: I had only about 2–3 days to get ready, so the interview felt high-pressure from the start. The questions themselves were consistent with DSA grilling, and the leadership-principle part didn’t dominate.

I didn’t receive an offer. Looking back, the short prep window made the difficulty feel bigger than it might have otherwise, because there wasn’t much time to iterate on how I communicated solutions.
