IndiaPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview flow had three main technical stages.

First came an AI interview round with two DSA questions at medium to hard level. Then I had a second round that was DSA-focused again, also with medium to hard questions.

The final technical step was system design at a low level, and it was described as medium to hard as well. What I remember most was how consistently the difficulty stayed elevated from round to round, and how the system-design portion felt like it was assessing my ability to reason end-to-end rather than just produce a correct answer.
