BengaluruPosted Jul 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied through LinkedIn, and the process began with a recruiter call for an online screening round.

Then the rest of the interview got scheduled.

The first step was an online round with two medium-difficulty questions. After that, I moved into a round focused on a single DSA question plus a set of topics across operating systems and Java—covering things like multithreading and distributed systems.

I didn’t receive an offer. What stood out to me was how broad the second round felt, pairing one algorithmic problem with concepts spanning concurrency and distributed systems, which made it harder to focus only on coding.
