Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test had 50 questions which were to be answered in 50 minutes. The test is not very difficult if you got basic skills in aptitude, but the most important thing is managing time. The level of difficulty was moderate.
Tips: Do not waste time on verbal questions which have a direct answer ( synonyms and antonyms) which you are not very sure of.
Just try making a smart guess when you have a doubt by elimination or something.
Duration: 50 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I wouldn't say it went great but it was fine. I did not think I would clear it as for most of the questions the interviewer seemed disappointed and wanted more out of me.
Tips: Keep smiling.
Only put things which you are thorough about, in your resume.
The interviewer too doesn't know everything, so just be confident in whatever you say-the interviewer might get convinced.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer was really cool. He realized that I mostly work on java applications so he chose to ask me stuff related to that.
He didn't want me to know the answer well but just wanted me to approach to it, maybe think more.
He went through my resume back and forth and asked mostly about all my projects and their logic and how could I take them to the next level.
Tips: Be confident.
Its okay not to know any answer, just try giving it a shot in the approach.

Skills: Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Basics, Basics Of Machine Learning, Ability To Analyse, Ability To Think Of Creative Solutions, Ability To Think Beyond Boundaries, Ability To Convince, Database Management, Java Programming

Funny Moments: I had mentioned Japanese as languages known in my resume. During the HR interview , I was asked to tell "How are you ?" in Japanese. I knew that the interviewer didn't know any of that language but I was a little scared to just tell anything.
You could try giving a shot in a similar situation :P

Skills evaluated in this interview

Interview Questionnaire 

2 Questions

  • Q1. Algorithm and Trick questions on Java
  • Q2. Your future interest, interaction capabilities

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Mention only those projects/works which you feel fully confident on, let any question be thrown your way.
Believe me, a simple project explained in a good way is better than a complex project that scares you going into the details.
Tips: A little bit of extra activities (sports/music) helps them picture you as not a total nerd, which might help in front of some interviewers.

Round: Interview
Experience: They will mostly try to trick you here, even if you are right, they will make you doubt yourself. It's just about believing oneself and answering in one go.
Tips: Stick to your answers if you feel it's right, changing it again and again won't do you much good.

Round: Interview
Experience: This is where you have to be most careful, what they seek is just your interest in the company or infact passion for their work and not leaving them mid-way for higher studies or startup plans.
Tips: Diverting talks to some extra-currics might help a lot here specially if they have interest in that too, like the one, I was giving interview to, was wearing a Barcelona cap and I had mentioned that I played football at Inter-Hostel level. So we talked about the recent Premier league for like 10 minutes and the mood was really lightened, thanks to that.

General Tips: It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Skills: Algorithms, Java, Interaction Skills, coding, C, C++
College Name: IIT DELHI
Motivation: The technology (Social-Media Management) they are working on is really interesting to know more about and can be a future pioneer in the coming days.
Funny Moments: One of the interviewer I became so friendly with, mid-way through the interview that we added each other right there on facebook.

I appeared for an interview in Aug 2016.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The questions were tricky. We were given a paragraph and after reading it, a statement was given to us and we were asked to say if it is true, false or cannot say. The structure of the statement put us into a a tough place. So practice of such kind of questions is necessary.

For data interpretation questions a good hand on basic statistical mathematics is needed. One has to be quick because of the time crunch. The questions were approachable

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In this round my resume was scanned and I was required to speak about myself, my projects and explain certain areas of my resume. The interviewer picked up one of my basic project, surprisingly, and asked me to elaborate on it. He asked me how I can improve the project. And I had to write a code to make that change. Basically, one should have a good idea about the projects they've done/ mentioned in their resume. And know it in detail.

Few questions on data structures. Prepare well for coding type questions and data structures.

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me two puzzles. They were moderate level. And also luckily he was helpful whenever I got stuck.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR round was good. Basic questions like " tell me more about yourself", brief information about my past history, college life, extra curricular activities. In the end she asked me, "should we hire you?" And I lightly answered " why not!" So it was a good interview overall.
