Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Hyderābād, India
Process
I had worked as SDE intern for 6 months. To get the internship, I had a written technical round and 2 rounds of interviews.
After the end of internship, I got what are known as Pre-Placement Interviews. There were a couple of them, 1st with a Lead and 2nd with a Director.
In the 1st interview, I was asked a Data Structures problem, 2 small coding tasks and an interesting puzzle.
In the 2nd interview, I was asked a coding problem based on Linked List (which I had done somewhere before) and a lot of HR/fit questions.
Questions
Puzzle - 2 eggs problem.
