Process

  1. Online Round: It had 3 questions.

  2. Three interviews. 2 Technical + 1 HR. They were almost 1 hour each.

Tip: Keep your basics clear and have patience.

Overall, it was a very awesome experience.

Questions

Online Round: There were three questions. I was able to solve two of them, both using DP. You should have a good knowledge of data structures and algorithms.

They were both based on making a pattern.

Round 1:

  1. What do you prefer: a team project or working alone?
  2. Do you know about stacks and queues? Explain.
  3. What data structure would you use to easily access a random or middle element?
  4. What data structure allows for easy random insertion or deletion of elements?
  5. What was the need for OOP? Then I was asked if I could compare it with C.
  6. What are classes in OOP?
  7. There are students, teachers, and administrators. Students must enroll in at least 2 courses, and the same applies to teachers. Teachers conduct exams, and students have to appear. A student can enroll themselves, or an administrator can do it for them. Write the classes, their data members, and functions.
  8. I have a grid with alphabets. I am given an array of strings to search for. Provide an algorithm for this. The strings can be found horizontally and vertically in both directions. I clarified if the alphabets could repeat or not, as I was considering an approach for unique characters.

HR Round:

  1. Which is your dream company?
  2. Why Salesforce?
  3. What is your dream?

2nd Round:

  1. Based on OOP basics.

3rd Round:

  1. Projects.
  2. Tree traversals.
  3. Code for recursive and iterative inorder traversal.
