💬 Interview Rounds

Round 1: Online Assessment

• Type: Coding
• Description: 4 coding questions were asked.
  • Example Questions:
    1. easy level question based on mathematical calculations.
    2. medium level question based on hashmap.
    3. hard level question based on dynamic programming.
    4. medium level question based on graphs.
• I'm sorry, I don't remember the exact questions now. But, I could solve 3 questions (1 easy and 2 medium) completely and the fourth one (hard) partially.

Round 2: Technical Interview (Online)

• Type: Coding
• Description: The second round was a dsa based interview round. It was one hour long and divided in 2 sections :
• 15 mins for algorithm analysis - 3-4 pseudocodes were given which had to be analyzed for their time and space complexities
• 45 mins for coding - The question was based on a vector of strings. A vector of words was given and the task was to construct a vector of sentences from those words such that the maximum length of each sentence is fixed. The words need to be in the same order in the sentence as they were in the vector with a space between two words. I was able to pass all test cases for this in 30 mins. After this the second question was an extended version of the first question. But, I could not complete it in 15 mins.
• Difficulty Level: Medium

Round 3 : Techinical + HR Interview (Offline)

• Description: Began with my introduction, followed by a detailed discussion on my projects - the objective behind the project, the database schema of the project and it's overall working.
• • Example Questions:
    1. OOP - 4 pillars, real world applications of oop
    2. Real life problem that can be solved using stack
    3. One sorting question and one searching question, which I explained by writing the pseudocode
    4. A logical question based on set theory
    5. Some behavioral questions like tell me an incident where you learned a new technology and used it to solve a problem, what do you do when you encounter bugs while coding. Since, I had mentioned some volunteering experience in my resume, I was also asked what would you do as a volunteer if you faced some problem during an event

• Final Outcome: Selected ✅
