Software Development Engineer

Candidates typically face a three‑stage process: an online aptitude test lasting 30‑40 minutes, followed by a technical interview focused on coding (arrays, strings, sorting, basic DP) and OOP concepts, and finally an HR round that assesses cultural fit and communication skills. Preparing with mock tests, revising core data structures, and practicing behavioral questions greatly improve success chances.

Round 1: Online Aptitude Test → Round 2: Technical Coding Interview (Data structures, algorithms, OOP) → Round 3: HR Interview
