Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Attended the on-campus career fair and submitted my resume.

Received a call the next day for an on-campus interview.

There were four technical rounds, all conducted on campus.

After five days, I received a call with an offer.

Questions

Mostly, all questions were based on data structures and algorithms. Expect at least one brain teaser if you clear the first round of the interviews.

Questions for me included:

  • Sorting an ArrayList containing 1s and 0s.
  • How to implement an LRU cache.
  • How would you implement an auto-complete feature?
  • Encoding a Word file to save space – any ideas?
