Entrevista
Tough and interesting. Mostly indepth questioning about C programs, their outputs, why it is so, Compiler quirks etc ...
Interviewers were very friendly and interview was more of a hands-on approach. You will be given a laptop and the interviewer can see your screen mirrored on his laptop. All the programs will be preloaded on your laptop.
The you are asked to read one of the programs and tell the output. If answer is correct, you need to explain why ... and further indept questions will be asked.

Final Round Question:
Design a program/library which will give return to you unique ids (think like pids). we should be able to return the ids once we are done using them.
So you will need to keep all the ids that have been assigned and return a non-assigned id. How much memory will such a program consume ... Assume 32-bit integers as ids

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!
