SDE 1 Interview Experience - New Delhi, India

March 23, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks.

Interview Process

The process consisted of two rounds:

  • A Technical DSA Round
  • A Hiring Manager (HM) Round

The experience was part of an on-campus drive.

The first round was strictly technical, focusing on array manipulation and greedy logic.

The second round was supposed to be a mix of project discussion and "GenAI Fluency," but it ended up being a deep dive into my primary project followed by a challenging CPU scheduling problem.

While the interviewers were professional, the HM round was more technical than advertised, requiring a solid grasp of edge cases in greedy algorithms.

Questions

Two City Scheduling (LeetCode 1029). You are given an array of 2N people, where each element contains costA and costB. You need to send exactly N people to City A and N people to City B such that the total cost is minimized.

Interview Question: Buildings With an Ocean View (LeetCode 1762). Given an array of building heights, identify the indices of buildings that have an unobstructed view of the ocean to their right. A building has a view if it is strictly taller than all buildings to its right.

Task Scheduler (LeetCode 621). Given a list of tasks and a cooling period n, find the minimum units of time to finish all tasks.
