Interview Preparation Tips
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Overall experience is very disappointing from this company. There were about 7 candidates and the process took the whole day. In the end, other than me, there was one more candidate who gave the final round. It's been 2 months they haven't given the result (Though it's pretty clear).
At the end of the interview, they asked us to leave and said results will be declared within that week. But no response, so I sent a mail, they said the process is still going on. After 3 weeks I again sent the mail and to quote them, 'both of us were neither clear reject nor clear select'. So they were still deciding and gave me a very definite response that will let me know the final result by the end of the week. I did not get any response and did not even bother to follow up again.
Okay, firstly, there's nothing like this clear reject/select shit, the candidate is either ideal for the job or not. You people should give more credit to the candidates and have the courage to reject them. Recruiters need to be a little sensible while hiring. Rejection is not an issue but not getting a clear/firm response. So, please if you don't find a person suitable for the role, just tell them and help them move on. Else they'll keep thinking in the back of their mind that they might have a chance at this company.
Secondly, the Noida office is really depressing.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The questions on Logical reasoning were tough and time consuming. The questions on programming were primarily on pointers and data structures. The section on Digital electronics was easiest with questions ranging from logic gates, flip flops & timing analysis.
Tips: Start with the section with which you feel comfortable that will enhance your confidence and you can solve the other sections with higher accuracy. Do brush up your concepts on programming and data structures. Keep practicing LR questions from books for CAT
Duration: 75 minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: There were 3 rounds of interview consecutively. The first one was majorly based on the CV, the interviewer asked about the projects and some extra curricular activities that I had done.The second interviewer asked me to write simple codes on arrays. There was a question on finding the number of paces where two numbers i & j have 1's in the same position in their binary representation. He also asked a simple puzzle- There are 3 boxes containing 2 R, 2 B and 1 R, 1 B balls. All the boxes are labelled incorrectly, How would you identify the correct labeling if your allowed to draw just 1 ball.The third round was primarily tested knowledge on data structures. The questions were based on linked list, binary tree implementation using linked list and code for printing the elements of binary tree in a given order( in order in my case).
Tips: If your CV has good projects be prepared to answer the question why are you not going for higher studies.
