Trainee Software Developer Interview Experience - Hyderābād, Telangana
Process
It was good. Questions asked included:
- Count the number of palindromic strings from a set of strings.
- Reverse a string.
Also, some questions were asked from core fundamental topics like DBMS, OS, OOPs, etc.
There was one system design question where I was asked to design a website or something like that. I don't remember exactly (I fumbled a lot here).
They were specially looking for a girl candidate. All the boys from my cluster (a set of students made just before the interview) were rejected.
Questions
Count the number of palindromic strings from a set of strings. Reverse the string.
