Zomato SDE off-campus — competitive-programming style rounds and a VP chat

Background

Three main rounds — two technical interviews followed by an in-person round at Zomato's Gurugram office.

Round-by-round

Technical round 1

Four coding questions in total, mostly leaning toward competitive-programming-style problems rather than typical interview questions.

Technical round 2

A DSA coding question combined with a low-level design problem — designing a library management system — along with a set of CS fundamentals questions.

Final round — VP discussion

With Zomato's VP, noticeably more relaxed and conversational than the earlier technical rounds.

Verdict

Selected.
