Process

The interview process typically includes a written test, followed by technical rounds, and then an HR interview.

The written test mostly comprises technical questions and quantitative aptitude.

I faced three technical rounds:

  • The first was on data structures and algorithms.
  • The second was more about past projects and work.
  • The third was about problem-solving skills.

The HR round is for confirmation, salary negotiation, and other related aspects.

Questions

In tech rounds:

  1. How do you generate random numbers?
  2. Linked-list related questions.
  3. Different sorting techniques and their advantages.

In problem-solving skills:

  1. How do you measure the length of all roads in a campus without using any speedometer? All methods you could think of were expected. Then, the interviewer asked how one can do it using a cycle only.

  2. You are at the ground floor, the lift is at the 3rd, and your friend is at the 6th. In which direction will the lift go if you and your friend press the button simultaneously? No delta time is involved between the two pressings.
