Question 1
i couldn't clear the first round : Basic Coding, binary search, sorting, etc
Interviewer was bad not at all interactive and interested in taking the interview looking like had a fight at home before taking the interview. I don't like the interviewer but can't do much as it's randomly allocated and it's all about luck of you get good interviewer or not. But atleast interviewer should be responsive.
There were two interviews for me. First one is from the technical team. The Second interview is from the HR. Mosty they ask Object Oriented programming related technical questions and DSA related questions
