Full-day interview held at The Westin, Hyderabad.

It started with machine coding, where we were given a problem statement and asked to write code in a preferred language. We were expected to submit compiling and running code that would pass the test cases provided in the problem statement. We were given two hours.

Following the submission, there was a one-on-one discussion about the submitted code with one of the interviewers.

After that, we went through a series of one-on-one rounds focusing on data structures/algorithms, low-level design, and high-level design, concluding with a hiring manager round.

1. Given stock values at different times over a day, when would you buy and sell to achieve maximum profit?

2. A question on the Minimum Spanning Tree. It is worded like this: Flipkart has warehouses across the country, with an associated cost for moving a parcel from each warehouse to every other. For cost optimization, they want to remove routes while ensuring all warehouses remain connected.

3. Design a warehouse with racks and slots for parcels, which has these two main functions: getParcel(parcelId) and storeParcel(parcel).
