BengaluruPosted Aug 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Software Engineer at McAfee with a classic multi-round format and a fairly heavy technical workload, ending with manager and HR steps.

Written / pen-paper test — I started with a timed test (aptitude/verbal/logical/passages in one instance; with negative marking).
Technical MCQ round (pen-paper) — Another timed round with OS/DBMS/Java concept questions.
Group discussion + technical interviews — After being shortlisted, I did a group discussion and then two technical interviews.
HR interview — A final HR discussion rounded out the loop.
Alternate variant (same structure) — In another path, there were multiple rounds where the last stages were face-to-face and HR was “hectic” compared to earlier
