Software Debug Engineer - Zoho (Off- campus)

Last Updated : 26 Nov, 2025

Overview of Interview Process:

I applied through the official job posting link. After my resume was shortlisted, I received an email with the interview venue details and an outline of the rounds.

The complete process consisted of:

Level 1 – Written Test (Aptitude & Programming)

Level 2 – Offline Programming Test

Level 3 – Advanced Programming + Technical Interviews + HR Interview

I cleared Level 1 and Level 2, but did not receive the call for the next round.

Level 1 (Aptitude & Programming)

The Level 1 exam consisted of 20 questions in total:

10 Aptitude Questions

A mix of quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning.

Topics included:

  • Averages
  • Pipes and Cisterns
  • Work and Wages
  • Simplification
  • Ratio & Proportion
  • Time, Speed & Distance

10 C Programming Output Questions

These were “find the output” type questions with no options provided (we had to write the answer manually).

Concepts included:

  • Pointers
  • enum
  • Arrays
  • Strings

I cleared Level 1 and was immediately moved to Level 2 on the same day.

Level 2 (Programming test)

We were given a question paper with 5 coding problems, all of which were LeetCode-style questions:

Valid Parentheses

Best time to Buy and Sell Stock

Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Median of two Sorted Arrays of Different Sizes with Time Complexity of O(log (n+m))

N Queens

After solving these 5 problems, another set of questions was provided.

I managed to solve 4 problems from the second set.

As expected, I did not receive the interview call for the next round (Level 3), which included the advanced programming test and technical/HR interview.
