Process
There were two rounds (three for some).
I was asked questions based on trees and binary search. These were LeetCode medium-level questions.
No questions from OOP or DBMS were asked, although I was asked about OS because I mentioned liking that subject.
The interviewer was very senior, an Engineering Manager with decades of experience, but was surprisingly patient and friendly.
Questions
-
Search an element in a sorted and rotated array.
-
Boundary traversal of a tree.
