Interview
There were rounds.Round zero was an online coding test with 2 questions First round was Group fly after resume shortlisting. Rest three were technical interviews.

Question 1
Round 1(Group fly): Write a program to check whether a given sentence is Word palindrome or not. First word and last words should be same and so on. For example, "Leaf is leaf" is a word palindrome. "Leaf is a leaf" is not.
Round 2: Write a program to find the median of two sorted arrays of size m and n. If the number of elements are odd, output single median, otherwise output average of the two medians.
Round 3: I was asked to implement an LRU cache. It should have O(1) insertion, deletion and updation and accesing an elememt in cache should also be O(1) time.
Was a typical first round recruiter screen - pretty straightforward but didn't end up getting moved vforwards. Prompt, Professional and overall a good experience. They asked me about my background, explained the role and it was with the recruitment team.
