The interview process consists of two main parts. The first 20 minutes are dedicated to Resume-based Questions, where the interviewer asks about my past experience, key projects, and technical contributions, particularly focusing on real-world problem-solving, system optimization, and collaboration in cross-functional teams.
The next 40 minutes are focused on Object-Oriented Design (OOD). In this section, I'm typically presented with a high-level design problem I’m expected to clarify requirements, identify core components, define class responsibilities, relationships (like inheritance or composition), and explain design trade-offs such as extensibility, scalability, and maintainability. Diagrams and clear abstractions are often emphasized.
