interview was easy, as most of the questions asked were simple c++ questions on basic arrays and data structures. They asked me a slightly tough question on pointers which i failed to answer,

I don't know how to say this. It's like one of the worst interview of all time. One interviewer was so rude just wanted to test my falling point. One time he openly said we want someone who could do work of 4 people, but I don't see that potential on you. If they give you an offer for an interview, please do not interview, it's a waste of time.
