Resume Shortlist: 1 online coding round 3 technical interviews 1 manager interview

The process was pretty good, as well as stupid in some senses. Candidates who clear all the technical rounds go for the manager round. First, the manager rejects about 50% of the shortlisted people. Then, based on the previous rounds, they select the best candidates.

Online round: 1 DSU question, 1 sorting question, 1 more question which I don't remember.

Interview 1: Given the following rules of Python, write a compiler for it.

1. The first line has no margin on the left.
2. Each subsequent line has a margin which is greater than or equal to the margin of any of the lines above it (as in Python).
3. Each line that ends with a ':' should have the next line with an alignment greater than the previous line (like a function definition in Python). Report the erroneous line number if any of these rules are violated.

Interview 2: You have a string of words and two given words. Find the shortest substring that contains both words. Print 6 preceding words before the first word and 6 succeeding words after the last word in the original string. For example, if the words are 'a' and 'b', the substring to be printed should be: word1 word2 ... word6 a ... b word7 word8 ... word12. He later asked me to extend it if we have three words: 'a', 'b', and 'c', and the substring should contain all the words.

Manager round: He asked me about my projects. He went pretty deep into what I had done in a previous internship. I did not understand much, as the work was mainly research-related.
