Phone screen:

  • Find path if person can ski from one position to finish position. there may be trees on the way where he can ski. I used bfs from given point to finish point.
  • Design Instagram.
  • Many behavioral questions.

Onsite:

Round 1:

  • Design: it was related to networks that was ok, since it was related to my background,

Round 2:

  • Find shortest way to the cinema from any point in the given grid of size MxN. There may be some points 'X' where you cannot walk or drive.
    My attempt:
    	 bfs(grid, I, j):
    				Start bfs from i,j point for all directions.  Start updating distance like 1 , 2 etc after skipping ‘X’. if any already calculated distance is less then do not go further.
    
    	 For i in len(grid):
    						  For j in len(grid):
    							   If grod[i][j] == ‘C’:
    									   bfs(grid, I, j)

Round 3:

  • Implement find system call with given some extra system call as helper functions like DIR, FILE etc.

Round 4:

Round 5:

  • Many behavioral questions in all the interviews:
    • failed project
    • best project
    • when you lead the team
    • when you motivate the team
    • something you did that impact the organization, any initiative than your normal work etc.
