I applied through a referral and received the mail for getting shortlisted within 3 days.

Total number of rounds = 3.

  1. Online Assessment Round (Samsung SWC Advanced Test)
  2. Technical Round
  3. HR round

Round1 - Samsung SWC Advanced Test
It was an online test of 3 hours duration. The instructions to install SWC software were provided 3-4 days prior to the test.
In the software (virtual test environment), the internet doesn't work and the test is proctored by installing another app on mobile and joining a meeting with the HR.

  1. There was only 1 question.
  2. There were 50 testcases and in order to pass the test, all the testcases should be passed. The test cases were hidden.
  3. Total 10 submissions allowed but you can compile and test it on custom inputs as many times you would like. You cannot submit your code more than 10 times.
  4. Input must be taken only using Scanner. BufferedReader is also not allowed in Java.
  5. Allowed languages are C, C++ and Java only. Python, C# is not allowed.
  6. When all the testcases are passed, the proctor in the meeting will inform you to leave the test.

Round 1:
Online Assessment Question:
SHOOTING GAME:
(variation of Burst Balloons - https://leetcode.com/problems/burst-balloons/)
There are n balloons and n bullets and each balloon is assigned with a particular number (score).
The score starts from zero.
Whenever a balloon is shot the score increases by
1.the multiplication of point assigned to balloon on left and that of right side.
2.point assigned to left if no right exists
3.point assigned to right if no left exists.
4.the point assigned to itself if no other balloon exists.

You have to output the maximum no of points possible.

Input
1 2 3 4

Output
20

Round 2: Technical Interview
A Google form was required to be filled prior to the interviews and candidates were requested to create and share the Google Meet link (keeping it for a validity of 90 days) while filling the form.

Questions asked:

  1. Maximum sum between any two nodes: https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-tree-maximum-path-sum/
  2. Furthest building you can reach: https://leetcode.com/problems/furthest-building-you-can-reach/
    (bricks were replaced by steps and ladders were replaced by Cranes).

I was not able to solve the first question and hence did not get the call for HR interview.
Thanks for reading!
