This interview was for summer internship through campus. The interview had one written aptitude round and a written coding round. The aptitude round had 30 questions and time allotted was 45 mins. The coding round had 3 questions and time allotted was 30 mins. Then there was a technical interview round followed by a HR round.

The questions in coding round were easy to moderate. They included to print interleaves of two strings; to maximize profit in selling and purchasing of stock when the prices of stocks each day are given as input; and to delete every mth person from a group of n persons in a circular order.

The technical interview started with explaining the code written in technical round. Apart from that, two queries were asked to write based on my project on RDBMS. They included one grouping query and a query to print top 3 elements of a table. Then I was asked to implement a snake and ladder game with n players, such that if a player gets an odd no in his chance, he will lose a chance. And if a player gets 6, then he will play a chance again.

The HR round had basic questions like

1. Why should we hire you?
2. Describe your family background.
3. Why do you want to join Optum?
