Interview
The interview started with the obvious question to introduce myself. Then the interviewer asked about my technical strengths and proceeded to ask questions on OOPs in Java, Normal forms in DBMS and the OSI Model in Computer Networks. She then gave me a question to solve. I coded the brute-force approach and gave her an optimized one but I could not code it due to time constraints. In the second technical round, it was more about my resume and questions related to the same.
