NoidaPosted Mar 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I got invited through the L job platform, and from there the process moved into a straightforward mix of HR and multiple technical rounds.

There were several Zoom interviews involving both coding/logic and deeper technical checks, with the rounds spread across different levels—manager and senior manager, along with engineers.

What stood out was that there wasn’t a separate behavioral round; everything stayed tightly tied to technical discussion and evaluation. In my session flow, I did written work first, then two technical rounds that covered graph basics, hash map-related questions, and even some Linux command knowledge. After that, a hiring manager round combined a technical readout with a deep dive into my projects.
