The OA mixed classic DSA with aptitude-style material. The coding problems ranged from easy upward, and there were also statistics-and-probability questions, including estimation tasks that moved quickly and made me question how confident I was in my answers.

The live interview felt lighter and more straightforward than the OA. In the technical round, I solved two easy DSA questions on a platform and explained how I reached the solution. The interviewer then moved to my resume and asked about my projects, including one involving a RAG model.

What stayed with me was the contrast between the OA, which threw a lot at me quickly, and the live interview, where I had room to explain my solutions. I did not get an offer, but the process was consistent in testing DSA and careful communication.

Location: Chennai. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
