I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Bengaluru) in Dec 2025
Interview
I applied through a LinkedIn referral, after which my resume was shortlisted and I was asked to fill out an application form again. I then received an assessment link for a one-hour online test covering computer science fundamentals such as cloud computing, operating systems, data structures, code debugging, and coding. After clearing the assessment, I was shortlisted for the interview rounds. The first interview round included a self-introduction and DSA-based questions. I was not shortlisted after the second technical interview round and therefore did not proceed to the HR round.

The interview process consisted of multiple stages.
First, there was a proctored online coding challenge that included:
Multiple-choice SQL questions
Data structures and algorithms questions in both C# and JavaScript
A Vue.js section at the end
The second step was a video call with the hiring manager, which focused on discussing experience and background.
The final step was an onsite coding challenge split between frontend and backend work:
Frontend (Vue.js): Build a simple todo list application where you can add tasks, mark them as complete using a checkbox, and filter tasks by name.
Backend (C#): Complete three unit tests involving fetching data from a database, looping through the results, and processing the data with API calls.
Overall, the process was fairly technical and hands-on, with a strong emphasis on practical coding skills.

Questions about your background, like how did you solve this a problem you faced
The written test is performed by remote controlling on the zoom session of the interviewer that can be a bit tricky, If one is based in remote location, the lagging response of the mouse and keyword can adversely impact the performance.
