Zoho Software Engineer interview experience

I had three main technical rounds, and by the time I reached the later stage, I was getting pulled into optimization expectations. In my last technical step, I was asked to optimize the code after I’d already solved the problem, and that was tough enough to end my chances.

On the earlier steps, the evaluation centered on solid problem-solving and the usual core themes—data structures, algorithms, and programming fundamentals. The questions weren’t just about writing something that works; they pushed for stronger logic and more efficient thinking.

I ended up not passing and didn’t get an
