I was very optimaI recently appeared for an interview at Cloud Analogy, and here’s my experience: Interview Rounds The interview process consisted of multiple rounds, primarily focusing on C++ and SQL skills. Pen Paper Assessment (Coding Test) The first round was a pen and paper test with C++ programming questions covering OOP concepts, data structures, and algorithms. Some questions tested pointers, memory management, STL (Standard Template Library), and multi-threading. There were also SQL queries, including joins, aggregate functions, and stored procedures. Technical Interview The interviewer asked me to implement a data structure (like a linked list) and optimize it. I was given a real-world problem to solve using SQL joins and subqueries. There were some DB normalization and indexing-related questions to test database optimization skills. HR & Managerial Round General questions about my background, experience, and future career goals. Some scenario-based questions related to teamwork, problem-solving, and debugging challenges.
