Foundation Section: Basic Aptitude
In this section, I faced questions related to logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and English comprehension.
I found this to be a straightforward round, thanks to my preparation. My background in engineering mathematics particularly helped me in this section.
Round 1: Advanced Reasoning and Quantitative Assessment
The first round was challenging but engaging, covering a variety of logical and numerical questions.
Although I found some of the distance and direction questions tricky, I managed to complete the number systems and percentages sections successfully. This round served as an apt screening for my analytical abilities.
Round 2: Advanced Coding
The coding round had two complex problems. One was related to time series analysis, and the other was about NLP (Natural Language Processing). While I had done some prior work on time series, NLP was relatively new to me.
However, I relied on my core programming skills and managed to get through.
Round 3: Technical Interview
The technical interview focused on my understanding of various data analytics tools like Tableau, R, and SQL. I was also asked to explain some of the projects listed on my resume in detail.
The questions were precise, probing into the depths of my knowledge and skills.
Round 4: HR Interview
The HR round was somewhat relaxed but included a few curveballs. Questions were mainly based on team dynamics, my long-term goals, and how I handle stress.
The interviewer seemed genuinely interested in my responses, making my overall experience pleasant and insightful.
