The OA consisted of three parts:
DSA Problems: One easy and one medium problem. I finished both in 20 minutes.
Work Simulation Round: This had 5–6 modules where I was bombarded with emails and had to select appropriate responses. It also included real-world problem-solving, like debugging an issue where a product page wasn’t loading. This round was mainly design to assess my decision-making and leadership principles.
Behavioral Questions: Multiple-choice format where I had to pick the most likely and least likely responses to different workplace scenarios.
I felt the OA went well, and on November 25, I received an email asking me to fill out a survey to be considered for the next stage.
