Onsite interview was with 5 teams and all of them were coding questions. standard C questions on linked list, function pointers, priority inversion and so on. One guy asked Math puzzles, I struggled a bit after constant coding. But i picked up towards the end
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Math puzzles were simple, but my brain was tuned in complex thinking and switching to simple mode was bit difficult
I approach interviews spontaneously, focusing on genuine technical discussions rather than memorized answers. I share real experiences from my embedded software projects, discussing complex issues with sensor integration very naturally.

In Technical round it would be DSA : LinkList, Bit manupulation mostly
They would ask regarding oops concept .They will also ask regarding question mentioned in resume . It would be interactive .
