Initially I was asked to write a program using circular linked list. The process was online. A few days later I received a call to attend a F2F interview. There I was given a question paper consisting of 3 questions, of which I had to solve 2. 2 of them were related to algorithm and last one was related to database design. It was a written examination and the duration was 1 hour. After that I had a F2F interview where the questions were around the problems I attempted. When it was over, I had another round where the interviewer answered my questions about the organization. Two days later I received my offer later.
