Process

I had applied for the Backend Developer post. I gave the HackerRank test, and the interview drive was scheduled for a day.

The first round was problem-solving. I solved the problem with correct logic, but the code didn't run due to a few minor mistakes. The interviewer gave feedback to practice more on problem-solving, and a rejection email was sent.

Questions

1st Round: HackerRank Test

  • Two HackerRank questions were presented: one to find the sum of all "Beautiful" numbers within a given range, and another was a dynamic programming question.

2nd Round: Problem Solving

  • Two coding questions were asked. One was to find the row with the maximum number of 1s in a 2D array. The array was row-sorted and contained only 0s and 1s. Example: int arr[][] = {{0,0,0,1,1,1}, {0,0,1,1,1,1},{0,0,0,0,0,1},{0,1,1,1,1,1,1}} Answer: 3rd row.

Although the logic was explained, the code could not be successfully run.
