SPOILER : ⚠️ No questions from leetcode were given!
NOTE : Hey guys! seems like the readers have a few ques, so I updated the post to address the questions.
Status: New grad
Experience : 6 months
Position I applied to : SDE1Note : Due to the pandamic all the rounds were conducted virtually
For behavioral questions that I mentioned below - HERE IS A GREAT LEETCODE POST
Online Coding & Behavioral Round (1 hour) :
- 2 Coding questions [Difficulty : Easy]
- Behavioural questions
Summary : This round is fairly simple and can be easily solved Virtual Interview (1 hour):
- 2 Coding questions (Based on Tree, BS ) [Difficulty : Hard]
- Behavioural qustions
Summary : This round was the most difficult one for me,as the interviewer was building up on a simple binary search tree question and the discussion went too deep.
Just to give you the context, this kind of ques was asked
- First verify if a given tree is a BST
- Now do the same for reverse BST
- Then Count all the BST (subtrees) in a given tree
- Now Count the reverse BST (subtrees) in a given tree
TBH, I thought my chance is lost after this interview cuz, I didn't write the complete code for this, but I was able to write upto 3rd variation Virtual Interview (1 hour):
- 2 Coding questions (Based on BFS, DFS, BS ) [Difficulty : Medium]
- Behavioural qustions
Summary : This round is a medium one, I gave the solutions for both the questions and the interviewer was satified so we moved on (Pretty standard!)Virtual Interview (1 hour):
- 2 Coding questions (Based on array manipulation) [Difficulty : Medium]
- CS Fundamentals
- Behavioural qustions
Summary : This round is also a medium one, But this round was more emphasized on CS Fundamentals
- The CS fundamental questions include topics like OOPS, OS, DBMS
Here are a few example ques topics
- Transactions
- Indexing/Hashing
- Normalization
- Deadlocks
- Memory management
Virtual Interview (1 hour):
- 2 Coding questions (Based on array manipulation) [Difficulty : Easy]
- CS Fundamentals
- Behavioural qustions
Summary : Surprisingly, This is the most easiest round as I solved the questions given in like a 5min. I did not expect this round to be that easy, as this was the last round✅ I was offered the SDE role!
