Zoho Software Engineer interview experience

I passed that first stage, and then I moved into a coding round.

The coding round included questions that ranged from easier to trickier, but the time limits mattered a lot. I managed to solve some problems, yet I was asked to optimize my code beyond the initial solution. That extra constraint is what finally tripped me up—I didn’t pass the coding round after needing to improve efficiency.

Because the optimization requirement was the deciding factor, the day ended with a clear stop rather than a gentle transition to later rounds. I didn’t get an offer, and I remember feeling that the timing
