Entrevista
I interviewed in-person using a laptop and a mirrored screen session for him to view what I was coding. 3 coding question, 2 aptitude / coding questions. The interviewer did not bother asking me what is my background, specialisation etc and started with his pre decided questions.
Post this the interviewer left and no one met/attended to me for about an hour. When I stepped out of the interview room and spoke to the HR he said he will send someone in 5 mins. I waited another half hour before I was told I did not make it to the next round. This is highly insensitive and irresponsible of the company to make an interviewee wait for 1.5 hours in an interview room.

Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Reached round 3 out of 4 planned, one was coding task, two live coding sessions. Linux development background was highly expected. Performance optimized approach was tested, specially oriented for hardware with lots of resources. I had a problem to properly understand reqruiting person during round 3, voice was not clear for me.

Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!
