Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

There were two back-to-back interviews, both 45 minutes long.

The interviews were conducted via WebEx, and all coding problems were done on a virtual whiteboard.

For each interview question, I was expected to trace through the output line by line of the code.

I was given three total coding questions.

  • One in C++
  • The remaining two in Python

Questions

Given a sorted array, write a function that creates a balanced Binary Search Tree using array elements.

Given an infinite stream of integers, find the k'th smallest element at any point of time.
