Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The test was conducted on hackerrank there was remote proctoring. We were given 22 questions and 60 minutes. The questions were mostly from technical (SQL, OS, DSA). there were a few Aptitude questions(mixtures, time &work, number system).

The second round was a technical and HR interview. It was good. They asked DBMS and DSA questions. He gave me a scenario and asked for DBMS architecture. I explained with ER diagram. Then he gave another scenario and asked me to code. Came up with a naive approach. he asked if it can be optimized. I gave an efficient approach.

Then the HR person asked questions about myself and why I want to join their company etc. I answered. The interview went well according to me.
