I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MAQ Software (Allahabad) in Aug 2018
Interview
I recently sat in on-campus interview for MAQ Software. The whole interview process comprised of the following rounds.
Round 1:
It comprised of general aptitude questions and two coding questions. It was an offline test. The coding questions were:
1. Given an array A[] consisting of 0’s, 1’s and 2’s, give an algorithm for sorting A.
2. N-Queen Problem.
After this round around 40 students were shortlisted from around 150 students.
After this there were three more rounds and each round was an elimination one.
Round 2:
1. The interviewer started by having a look at my CV. He asked for a firm technical introduction.
2. He asked question about my projects. As I have had my intern from a very good place, he appeared impressed from the very start.
3. After having a technical discussion about my CV. He gave me two questions to code as following:
a.) Given a linked list find whether loop exists or not. Find the starting point of loop.
b.) Given a very big string, find whether the given substring exists or not in minimum time and space complexity.
After this round around 15 students were shortlisted.
Round 3:
1. The interviewer was a young guy. He too had a look at my CV and appeared impressed.
2. He discussed in detail about the two major projects done during my internship.
3. He sat smiling at me with a friendly look and said that yes you have had actually done a lot of work. In the end for formality sake he gave me one question to code. The question was to find the in-order successor in a binary tree. He later told me that the tree is BST.
After this round around 5 students were shortlisted.
Round 4:
This was supposed to be the HR round but out of surprise the interviewer started by giving me a question to code. The question was to print all the combinations of balanced parenthesis for a given value n. For example if n=2, we will have ()(), (()) as two balanced pairs possible.
After I approached this question with the right solution he just asked about my family. After that he said to wait.
After half an hour the results were announced. A total of three students were hired and I was amongst one of them. 🙂

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at MAQ Software (Noida)
Interview
It was a fairly straightforward process that included a data structures and algorithms (DSA) based live coding round followed by an HR interview. Both rounds were of medium to difficult level, but I was able to successfully clear them.
3 rounds of interview , very unprofessional interviews by the Founders. The last interview is taken by the Founder and the person was nothing but condescending , would never choose to work here, they will not re-imburse your travel expenses for the onsite interviews , that should give you a picture of the work culture there
