This was 1st round, you will have further rounds if you clear this round
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Detailed project discussion.
2. virtual memory, physical memory.
3. Two Threads executing same function, what happens to variables inside function.
4. longest continuous subsequence (code and execute)
Had a call with the hiring manager who only seemed interested in why I was leaving my previous job and not what I have been working on or my skillset. At the end of the call I didn't seem like that was a good impression and decided not to pursue.
Got the coding round and got rejected though all test cases passed. The recruiter sent a hacker rank directly. Got everything executed but still sent a rejection since they got another candidate for the position

Hackerrank questions: String manipulation, what is a middleware
in total i had 3 rounds, first round was coding which was easy problems. next two rounds were technical interviews which were medium to hard and went in depth C++ concepts.
