Why PPO?
Any tips for securing a PPO?
Summary of the specifics
Importance of good relations within the company?
Criteria used while handing out PPOs?
How did you stand out among your colleagues?
I didn’t view applying for PPO as a massive decision. A reason why I chose PPO was because of the doubt persistent during the placement activities because of the Covid-19 situation. Another being that I didn’t wanna grind hard to be able to outperform others in the competitive placement activities. Also, the PPO included a decent package and was at par with the compensations provided by a majority of the big core software companies. So, that’s how I convinced myself that accepting the PPO is fine.
Umm… in general, getting some decently good work done should suffice.
Though mentor feedback is crucial for PPO it would be based on your work and sincerity. I would say that it would be better if you can refrain from having your mentor get a bad impression of yours because then it might show up ahead. (Also mentor feedback is not provided to the students. They would be providing that to the people involved with giving out PPOs I guess)
Idk if I’ll be able to give a very insightful answer to this as almost everyone who had interned at Adobe got the PPO (at the cost of Adobe not coming for campus placements). I guess in general they look at the work you have done and the feedback that your mentor would provide to the company.
Going through my response in an earlier question, this question isn’t kinda applicable in my case.
So for Adobe, their TnP test included 2-3 programming questions and many MCQs based on the topics like Linear algebra, probability, etc. Because of my lack of practice, I didn’t score that well in the programming section but I had all the MCQs correct (and the interviewer mentioned this thing, so I guess that would have played a role in me getting selected). And so umm, other than that test, there was this one interview held over Gmeet something during day-1 of TnP internships. That interview was very light in nature, but it was very long. (And that led to me missing interviews of other companies lol)
