HyderābādPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview centered on Python and SQL/MySQL fundamentals plus resume-based project storytelling.

Technical fundamentals + database concepts — Python questions on data types, control flow, functions, and OOP basics, plus MySQL queries, joins, normalization, indexes, and basic optimization.
Resume/project deep dive — I explained my projects, design choices, challenges, how I solved them, and my role/impact; we also touched my academic and hands-on experience. Outcome: No offer; the evaluation felt balanced between language fundamentals and practical project reasoning.
