2 problem solving questions - one of which i asked for clarification for and the interviewer struggled to clarify, and incorrectly told me what I was to do with the question. Then proceeded to ask questions whilst i was working the question out, and also seemed to get confused at the question. The second problem solving question i solved straight away with no issues, it was correct first time. I was told over the phone that I took too long to solve problems and that they wouldn't be continuing further with me. Interviewer did not take notes at any point during this interview, feel as if i may have been hindered by confusion regarding question.

For software-developer/engineering roles: Expect questions on programming (Java/C++/Python), OOP concepts, data structures & algorithms (DSA), databases/SQL or DBMS basics, plus possibly some DB + SQL queries. For many, the first round (Online Assessment) included OOP-MCQs, one DSA problem, one SQL question. After that, interviews asked to walk through your projects / past internships, talk about your contributions, challenges, and decision-making.
