Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Round 1: Online coding and aptitude test Section
Total time : 60 minutes
Questions{Marks} = 50(+1,-0.5)
Comments : * A few questions on Permutations and Combination and general aptitude * A few questions on Computer Networks and Operating Systems * Many C++ output questions, mainly on OOP * Questions are quite stimulating and these need proper time management, the idea of the concepts need to be at the tip of the tongue ("literaly")
Section 2:
Total Marks : 150
Total questions : 2 ( 100 + 50 )
Programming Languages allowed : All common PLs
Platform : HackerEarth Questions are easy but may require long codes. The output should be properly formatted.Not much algorithms Some 30 people get shortlisted for the interviews, consisting of maximum 4 rounds ( 3 tech + 1 HR).All interviews are elimination rounds
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: ( Tech interview-1):
* Mainly questions on the knowledge of C
* Trust me, one must be really an expert in C syntax, and you must know in and out of C
* Questions on pointers and bit wise arithmetic asked
* Some questions on Operating systems also asked( and these were really thought worthy, like how are interrupt handlers stored )
* Some resume based questions
(Tech interview-2) : Some 15 were shortlisted
*Mainly questions on algorithms
*Really tough questions , on trees and arrays, almost in the Microsoft level
*Should be optimized as possible.
*They describe one of their product, and then ask questions on how to solve some problems.
(Tech interview-3) Some 6 were shortlisted
Selection Procedure
* Interview by the Citrix India R&D Vice-President of Tech division
* Involves mainly resume based questions
* Most questions on Networks and TCP/IP
* Puzzles are also asked.
* You may get chocolates also in this round
Round: HR Interview
Experience: If you get here, it means you are 90% selected(unless you screw it really bad, by saying things like you don't know the company,etc ) *Standard question - Why Citrix ? *They mainly discuss what profile will be offered, and about the compensation and so on.
General Tips: I don't think I have any. In fact I had no aspirations initially to get into this company.In fact I too came to know about the company on the day I got selected into it :p
The only thing I can say is practice. Strengthen your networking and OS concepts Even though you don't need to be in the leader board of CodeChef for this company, you may want to know decent coding, atleast to make it to the interviews.
It was challenging and equally rewarding. I felt that this was a really friendly interview series, and they are quite accommodating and flexible in their questions. Infact even if you miss a question or two, don't worry.
Skill Tips: Forouzan - Data Communication and Networking ,C++ by Djarne Stroustrup HackerEarth and HackerRank Coding Focus more on Networking and OS if you want to get into this company, they don't focus on much of algorithms, since they don't want coders since it is a R&D profile.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The type of questions mainly comprised of aptitude, dbms, data structures, operating system, object oriented programming, networking and few basic questions on C programming language.
Tips: For Object Oriented programming the book entitled as THINKING IN C++ volume 1 by BRUCE EKEL proved to be very useful.For C, read Dennis Ritchie thoroughly atleast twice.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 45 or 50
Round: Problem Statement
Experience: The questions didn't make use of any tough algorithms. The solution too was quite simple but on the contrary there were several test cases which we generally overlook.
Tips: Sometimes practicing tough questions, we stumble across easy ones, so always start learning things from the ground level. Stay calm.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was managerial interview and i expressed myself in the best way i could . The interviewer tried to trap me in my own answer but somehow i managed to satisfy him by my answers.
Tips: Stay confident and be yourself.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Initially, i gave naive approach to the solution but the interviewer gave me sometime to improvise the solution and i ended up with solution with log n complexity.
Tips: Practice coding questions based on Data Structures as much as possible but look at the solutions only after the exhaustive attempts of self trials.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This round was bit tough . To answer the questions on semaphore, you need to have very basic knowledge of the topic.
Tips: System programming book by Richard Stevens provides deep insight of the concepts.Have strong grip on subject knowledge too.
General Tips: 1) Once you kick off a start to practicing coding questions and understanding the concepts, you actually enjoy things.2) Group Study plays a very crucial role. Discuss questions with your friends and your seniors.3) If initially you get bulk of errors in programming questions , don't get disheartened .Try to run the program by compiling each and every line thoroughly and eventually you will end up with successful compilation and that happiness is priceless.
Skill Tips: Have a command on your domain.
Skills: programming Skills, communication skills, Skills to handle the situation.
College Name: NIT ALLAHABAD
Motivation: A software company with software engineer profile and a good package too and both of them defines my field of interest :P
Funny Moments: when the result was declared with me and my friend both got selected, we both started jumping and crying aloud infront of everyone out there.And at the end when we were given chocolates , there was another box containing t-shirts ..and i was constantly looking there in the hope that soon, we would be given t-shirts too but to the dismay the handed all of them over to the third party :(

Interview Preparation Tips
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per the norms of our institute’s placement cell. For Oracle I laid emphasis on my programming skills and projects related to it.
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was the written test that comprised of 5 sections – vocabulary, aptitude, pattern matching, logical reasoning and programming. The questions in the programming section were asked from data structures and C++. The questions in the programming section were mainly from trees (from data structures). Around 400 students appeared for their written test out of which around 100 were shortlisted.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round was the interview round. They gave me some puzzles to solve and a program to write. One of the puzzles that I remember was that if I were to be given an egg then how would I determine its durability, i.e. how would I determine that from which floor do I need to throw the egg from so that the egg does not break if thrown from any floor below it.
For the coding question I was given a mathematical formula and I was asked to devise a code such that the program uses the formula and gives the output.
Tips: Prepare for Data Structures as well as the commonly asked puzzles for Oracle.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Oracle is a reputed company in the space of software and ITeS. It had come to our campus with five profiles. The best means to know about all of them is to attend the pre-placement talk of the company.
