Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a thirty-minute telephonic interview, and the questions were based on both technical and managerial aspects.

The recruiter was very friendly. They provided hints, explained the questions clearly, and clarified all my doubts.

I was able to answer all the questions to the best of my knowledge.

Questions

Technical Questions:

  • Explain the logic to reverse a string.
  • How can you modify the code by removing duplicate elements?
  • What data structure can be used for the above logic and how can it be implemented?

Managerial Questions:

  • If you were a team lead, how would you manage a team of five (two beginners, two at a moderate level, and one expert) without affecting team performance?
  • How can you determine if a person on your team is stressed, and how would you help them without impacting performance or causing delays?
