Process

One of the team members called for the first technical round. It was a video call on MS Teams. The interviewer was a bit late. The interview duration was 1 hour and 20 minutes instead of 1 hour.

Questions

This program is for reversing the words present in the given string.

Input: my name is xx khan Output: ym eman si xx nahk

The interviewer was not technically strong. When I was trying to run the program in an online compiler, I got a few errors. After trying to solve them many times, I felt he didn't know that we can use strings instead of char arrays. He had many more doubts.

Questions on OOPs concepts:

  • SAS, SATA, NVMe
  • Past products
  • Design patterns
