Application

I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zomato (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024

Interview

3 rounds, two technical and one HR. Technical rounds covered DSA questions as well as CS fundamentals. A lot of emphasis was put on system design questions, about how you'd make a project scalable, how you'd design a rate limiter, etc.
