I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PhonePe in Jan 2022
Interview
I applied through On-Campus..... So there were 2 Technical rounds within one hour and in the same meeting link, one after another
HR was connected with us in a WhatsApp group all the time, those who were unable to clear round 1 asked to drop the meeting by HR on Whatsapp
There was no HR round after technical interviews
In the first-round Interviewer didn't turn on his camera but I did mine by myself, and in the second round, next interviewer did turn on the camera and asked me to do the same.
Questions asked were related to Linux, Git, Computer Networks, DBMS / SQL, Operating Systems, Python

First was a brief discussion about my projects, since I used NodeJs etc. in my project so questions about it like why you used Nodejs
Some computer Networks questions related to DNS resolution like How the browser works? Whenever we enter a website name what does it and how does it fetches the data from the server?
Then a basic DSA question in python, There are some words written line by line (means in one line there is only one word written) in 2 files, file1.txt and file2.txt, I want to read the files and find common words from both the files. How will you do it? And he didn't ask me to code this problem only an approach was asked.
The interview process consisted of multiple rounds, including a phone screening, technical assessments, and a final interview with the team. The questions focused on problem-solving, system architecture, and troubleshooting skills.

First round was assessment, questions were based on linux networking and sql. Second round and Third round I had a technical interview. After getting into Internship, I had 5 weeks of training and next 7 weeks for project.
