Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: A total of two questions were to be solved in a duration of 5 days. Both the questions were programming based and required knowledge of data-structures and algorithms.
Tips: Though it was mentioned that solving any one of the two questions should ensure interview shortlist, only those who solved both the questions were shortlisted. So, ensure that you solve both the questions. In the worst case, by brute force.
Total Questions: 2

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This round involved solving two programming questions. Both the questions involved writing code on their editor, compiling it and running for few test cases provided by them.
Tips: 1) Make sure you practice writing more and more code during your preparation rather than passively reading/thinking of solution to coding questions
2) Make sure you 'think aloud' during the interview (discuss your approach/progress you have made regarding the question) even when you are stuck so that the interviewer can guide you to the correct direction. However, please don't confuse this with abruptly speaking of any solution that comes to you mind. Relax and take your time but don't hesitate to speak to the interviewer when stuck
3) Discuss the approach with the interviewer before proceeding to code your final solution
4) Write a readable code with proper variable naming, code reuse
5) Dry run your solution on few basic and corner test cases before flagging a question as done!

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was an easy round. HR asked be few questions from my resume. After that a long discussion on work culture of the company and kind of profile I will like to work on.
Tips: Just speak honestly in this round. It will be a cake-walk then.

Round: Test
Experience: This is the last round where you are given a booklet of 30 questions on 10th level maths and mental ability questions and are asked to solve it in 60 minutes.
Tips: Time will be sufficient so ensure you don't commit silly mistakes
