Background: B.Tech Computer Science
Work Experience: 3.5+ years as Software Engineer in Product based company

After getting an average feedback for fourth consecutive year I decided to switch to another company because I thought I'd rather be unappreciated where I atleast get paid more. Here's my experience.
All experiences are for SDE2 or equivalent posts, dated jan - march 2021.

• Round 1 (Problem Solving)
  1. Letter Combination of a Phone number.
• Round 2 (Design and Problem Solving) :
  1. A variation of rate limiter.
  2. An algebra question, you are given a machine which calculates ax^2 + bx + c, for any x, where the range of a, b and c is between [0, 9]. Find values of a, b and c.
  Result : no feedback, no rejection mail, but I never contacted them either.

Intuit

• Round 1 (Problem Solving)
  1. Wildcard Expression Matching.
  2. Convert number to words.

  1. Time/space complexity of different sorting algorithms.
  2. How would you store an array of million size so that range based queries would be efficient, and it's code.
  3. Implement Stack using queues.

  Result : Offer.
