Round 1(Technical Interview): This round was conducted on Microsoft teams.
The interviewer was very nice he introduce himself and ask me to introduce myself and there was 1-2 minutes of non-technical talk to make the environment interactive.
Then he asked me a dsa question i.e string matching first I told him the brute force method and then he asked me to optimize the time complexity of the solution then I told him the kmp algorithm and he wanted me to code the solution in any IDE, he was satisfied with my approach.
Then he asked me about basic oops concept and basic keywords in c++, then he grilled my knowledge on DBMS mainly he asked about normal forms, asked me to write some queries, and then he deep dive into joins in SQL.
I answered his all questions and he was pretty much satisfied with my answers. Then he jumped to my resume and asked questions about the language and framework mention in my resume.
Round 2(HR interview): This round was also conducted on Microsoft teams. It was pretty straightforward round HR was just trying to check whether you can communicate fluently or not.

Colloquio
the technical interview was a broad, 40-50 minute assessment covering multiple domains. It began with a standard introduction, followed by core OOPs concepts like inheritance. The scope then expanded to include Computer Networking (e.g., network topology), Software Engineering (comparing waterfall and agile methodologies), and cloud computing fundamentals. The practical portion involved web development, where you were asked to create a basic notepad page and discuss CSS concepts, including the interviewer's interest in Object-Oriented CSS and the possibility of inheritance in styling. This was followed by a simple C++ coding task to find the middle character(s) of a string. Although you felt you didn't answer every question perfectly, you responded confidently with the knowledge you had. The session concluded with you asking the interviewer about the company and the desired qualities in an intern.
The subsequent HR interview was brief, lasting under 15 minutes, and focused on standard questions such as your motivation for joining Optum, what sets you apart from other candidates, and your future plans. Notably, this round was swift and resulted in all candidates being selected.
