Applied through website. Got a revert with a hackerrank test. 3 questions and 60 minutes. Go 2/3 right with the last one reaching TLE (time limit exceeded) for a few cases. Never got a follow up call post that.
Pro tip: Do not attempt the questions in python. Even for the most optimized solutions. For example, in question 2, taking a module with a large number resulted in TLE, instead of dividing by, say, 10^9+7 (python quirks of reserved numbers on the stack). Similarly, declaring constants out of the function made the TLE go away.
Unfortunately, for the third question, such a TLE was not possible, which resulted into no callbacks. Please attempt the questions in cpp since the 3 second timeout on hackerrank is more than enough but the 10 second one is super tight for python

I was given a test to solve with 5 coding questions in 2.5 hours, and MCQs in campus placement. Competitive Programming is useful here. Followed by two interviews focusing on DS and Algorithms. Interview questions were easy-medium.

First-round was hackerrank round. I completed all three questions with one test case remaining for the third question.
Codepair round - The first interview was for the Gurgaon location even though I applied only for the Bengaluru location. The first interview was a medium difficulty, if you have done enough coding for placements, you'll get through it. I answered all the questions and that team was ready for the second interview. I talked to HR and told them about the location, he removed me from the Gurgaon location interviews and fixed interviews for the Bengaluru location. That interview was kind of medium-difficult. The main thing is I answered the questions but still they didn't even contact me with any feedback/comments or result about the interview.
I've got an offer from another company and I'm really happy about it. I would suggest if you are interested in this specific domain then you can consider this because the main tech stack is C++/python and this is not backend/frontend work. Otherwise, go for a bit established companies/startups..

Pregunta 1
I was asked about implementing quicksort from scratch.
Questions about the pivot in quicksort - I was able to do it with taking last as a pivot but the code was not performing correctly for the median pivot, I tried to debug it but was not able to do it.
