Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

It was an in-person round that lasted 5 hours.

There were 5 interviewers, with one hour allocated for each.

The day included two technical rounds on either side of a lunch interview with the manager, which was mostly behavioral.

I thought the technical and behavioral rounds went well. The interviewers were friendly and offered hints to help me solve problems.

I can share a few questions that might have cost me.

Questions

Given a sentence, "Hello how are you HELLO". Find the minimum distance between two words. Given input: hello, you. Output: 1. The input words are case-insensitive.

Was given a parent div and three child divs inside. Asked to add CSS to each, giving some height and width to the child divs and a border of a certain thickness to all. Asked to add another child div inside the second child. Was asked to give this div an absolute position with some bottom and left positioning, and asked to draw the layout.

Was given a function q(func) which accepts another function as input. Each time this function is called, it will execute the passed-in function after 3 seconds. So, if it is called 3 times:

q(func); q(func); q(func);

the func passed inside will only get called after 3 seconds, and the second one will get called only after the first one completes, and so on.
