ChandigarhPosted Jan 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

In my interview, the questions started with DSA medium-level problems and then moved into operating systems, including an example like round-robin scheduling.

After that, the focus shifted strongly to computer networking, including IPv4 headers and collision avoidance.

The overall experience felt good, and while the difficulty was listed as difficult, I felt like the interview itself was coherent instead of random.

I didn’t receive an offer, but I left feeling that I understood what areas were being targeted—DSA first, then OS scheduling concepts, then deeper networking.
