DSA-1:
- Interviewer was friendly.
- Q1: We are given an array of asteroids of integers representing asteroids in a row. For each asteroid, the absolute value represents its size, and the sign represents its direction (positive meaning right, negative meaning left). Each asteroid moves at the same speed. Find out the state of the asteroids after all collisions. If two asteroids meet, the smaller one will explode. If both are the same size, both will explode. Two asteroids moving in the same direction will never meet.
- STACK BASED--easy
- Q2:Clone the link list with the random pointer. Every node in the linklist has an additional node that points to any random node
- Add extra Node in between-- med/hard
- Got stuck and hint was provided 2nd question was tough and approach was tested I couldn't give correct solution but another one with more space requirement.
DSA Round-2:
Cultural Fit + Tech Discussion:
At this point I was sure I had cleared only some easy ques now. Had one with one of co-founders. Worst Interview Experience I ever had. He came late, didn't let me complete intro, interuppted rudely, gave
q1: median in stream of intergers-- took time and gave the ans
q2: Question on project -- explained projects well
He showed no-interest at all, complete waste of time. If they want to ditch then should have asked either hard question or cancel interview but they chose to get me in 1on1 with one Apathetic guy.
one Glassdoor reviews hinted me the same, he was ditched the same way.
Such rude behaviour from someone who haven't joined yet; Thank god I didn't get selected.
PS: I already have one oncampus offer in PBC.
