Zoho interview - rejected after final round
Writing this because most posts here are selections.
Round 1: written test, C output questions + aptitude. Cleared.
Round 2: programming on their system, 5 questions in 3 hours. Did 4.
Round 3: advanced programming, build a small railway reservation system in 2 hours (book, cancel, waiting list). I got the booking working but cancellation with waiting list was buggy when time ran out.
Round 4: technical HR, mostly project.
Rejected. I think round 3 was the problem. If you have Zoho coming up, practise those LLD style console apps with a timer, it's very different from leetcode.

for round 3 they care a lot about clean code and handling edge cases, more than finishing everything. keep the design simple
