BengaluruPosted Nov 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with an aptitude screen, then went into a harder technical session focused on Java.

The topics were pretty broad: data structures, multi-threading, and classic core Java coverage. I ran through questions about exceptions, collections like HashMap and TreeMap implementations, inheritance concepts, and thread creation approaches.

The multi-threading angle also included synchronization topics such as deadlock—so even though the round didn’t feel like pure trick questions, it was definitely technical in a way that demanded real depth. I cleared the technical portion, but the overall difficulty left me feeling like I was being tested on fundamentals rather than just familiarity.
