Interview
I am Masters student. I got a call from the career fair held at my university. On the spot interview consisted of simple puzzles (e.g the weight distribution) and some OOPS concept. Then they called me for a one to one interview. The interview consisted of question mainly related to the areas of C , database and comp arch. I was not able to answer one of the questions in C and the interviewer spent the whole time dragging me around that questions. It looked as if, he had already rejected me and was simply wasting our time.
