OA

The process began with an online assessment, and the later interview path depended on that result. For me, the OA was the gate. I solved some questions, but my overall performance was not strong enough to continue.

The process began with an online assessment, and the later interview path depended on that result. For me, the OA was the gate. I solved some questions, but my overall performance was not strong enough to continue. There was no detailed technical follow-up afterward, only the sense that the feedback did not support moving forward.

The assessment covered networking and C fundamentals: subnetting, TCP and UDP, bitwise operations, and debugging-style problems. Some parts went well, but the outcome depended on executing accurately enough within the test constraints.

It felt difficult to leaning difficult and ended quickly after the assessment. I did not get an offer. I took away that partial success does not get you to interviews when OA speed and accuracy matter as much as understanding.

Location: Pune. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
