Interview Rounds

Round 1(Machine Round): Bowling alley

This round is basically for checking the oops concept and language. They want to check whether you can able to write code in a modular pattern.
I have to design a bowling alley, they will provide you with all the details regarding the problem like what will be the rules of this problem. In this case, there is a strike and spares. We have to calculate the score concerning how many pins are down and also have to add a bonus score whether it is strike or spares.
Evaluation criteria

  • Demo-able code
  • Functional correctness
  • Code readability
  • Usage of design patterns, where applicable
  • Language proficiency
  • The code should be parameterized rather than hardcoded.
  • Testing
  • Exception

Round 2(DS Algo round): This round start with the intro and the interviewer already told me that he will ask two questions and I have to give the answers within 1 hour

  1. https://leetcode.com/problems/set-matrix-zeroes/
  2. https://leetcode.com/problems/car-pooling/
    Note:- Approach for these type of question is starts with the naive/brute force approach and then after that optimize that.

Round 3(Manager Interview):

  1. Explanation about the current company and draw the architectural diagram of how things work in your current company.
  2. Explain your team and your role in your team.
  3. What technologies you are working on.
  4. Why do you want to join Flipkart?
  5. Why do you want to leave your current company?

Tips for Flipkart:-
You should have good a hands-on programming language. You should know how the oops pillar is working.
know your basic subjects like DBMS, OOPS, OS, CN(optional).

For DS Algo:-
start with Striver list(This I mention because from these you got a broader idea of topics), after that, you can take a topic and search on leetcode start with an easy question, if you are comfortable with easy level to increase your level to medium and then hard.
