VisakhapatnamPosted Sep 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I knew it was going to be tough from the very beginning because the interview was all about problem-solving and coding, and they treated that as non-negotiable.

Even if I had strong communication, I still had to write and solve the code during the interview—there wasn’t much room to “talk through” alternatives without actually coding.

The questions stayed anchored to basics, but as the conversation progressed, the interviewer pushed into harder territory based on those same topics. I remember getting coding prompts that felt tricky, including follow-ups tied to code I had already written earlier in the process. The interviewers wanted me to reason carefully and handle edge cases, so the difficulty didn’t feel like a single spike—it ramped.
