Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was more challenging than the difficulty of the individual questions combined due to the limited time available. None of the questions were unsolvable, but solving all of them in the allotted time is a challenge.
Tips: Since speed is key, practice is the only way to achieve it. Also, it may be helpful to skip a question and solve 2 easier questions instead of spending time on a single question and missing out on attempting other questions.
Duration: 25 minutes
Total Questions: 40

Round: Problem Statement
Experience: This was a relatively easy experience, time was not a constraint. Given the question, all I had to do was submit a script to solve it. Most of the programmers with any amount of experience will be able to solve it with ease.
Tips: Nothing special needed here, tackling the problem step by step is the easiest and best choice.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview was telephonic, and most of the questions were just involving basics of networking, network servers and server side scripting. There were some questions involving scaling of a webserver, which were pretty straight forward.
Tips: Though all questions are straight forward, a strong grasp of the fundamentals is essential to tackle these questions. Hence a focus on fundamentals is necessary during preparation.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test consisted of basic aptitude and logicall reasoning questions. Each question on an individual level wasn't difficult. However, the sheer number of questions and the limited time made this test challenging. None of the questions were unsolvable, only speed mattered.
Tips: Since speed is the key, practice is really the only way to go. Try to solve as many questions in as limited of time as possible. In some cases, it is better to skip on a question and advance to the next one instead of wasting time on a question.
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 40

Round: Problem Statement
Experience: The problem is fairly straight forward, my only challenge was learning node.js and coffeescript.
Tips: Experience in programming in any language will help in this round.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The final round was a telephone interview, which lasted about 30 minutes. The questions were mostly about server side scripting, and server scalability. There were a few questions regarding basic http connections, nothing too advanced.
Tips: Having an idea of how an internet web page is fetched, what steps are involved for a connection to be established will help in acing the interview.

General Tips: It is always good to stick to the basics, and then build up. Most people I see start off with extravagant stuff, but struggle with the basics.
Skill Tips: I didn't do anything special to prepare for the selection process, just stuck to the basics and answered all questions to the best of my knowledge. I didn't hesitate to inform the interviewer in case I didn't know the answer to a question. This shows that you are willing to learn, and not try to do anything with half.knowledge.
Skills: Aptitude, Programming
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: My main motivation in applying for this company was that my previous job was turning out to be suffocating. I wanted a job which requires hands on programming. The location (Hyderabad) also definitely helped, as it is my hometown. The final pay package also turned out to be a bonus.
Funny Moments: The only thing I found funny was that I received the offer letter without showing my face to even one employee at the company. I later realised that this is the trust alumni have, and it is up to us to ensure that the trust isn't broken. The CEO
