Round: HR Interview
Experience: The company was open only for B.Techs from CS and IT. Around 20 students were shortlisted after the test, with some more added after a separate test was conducted for those who missed the test. Every interview round was an elimination round. In the end around 5 students were left, out of which three were recruited.

General Tips: 1. Thoroughly know your data structures: Simple questions like reversing the linked list etc. should be on the top of your mind.
2. Be proficient in C, and at least one object oriented language Cpp or Java. Be prepared to answer which one you prefer and why.
3. Practice logic questions: Some logic questions are frequently used by the companies like the ropes measuring time question etc. If possible practice them before hand. Reduces the element of surprise.
4. Carry your charger, water and some eatables along. The process is long and tedious. Mine carried our for the entire day and you will have to be present in the T and P for the entire duration. Do not miss the ppt. They say a lot of things about the company which will help you in the HR round. Prepare in networks and OS apart from Data Structures as it is a cloud based company.
Exhausting. The process was lengthy and tedious.
