Round 1 (Online Test):
There were two coding questions to be done in 90 minutes (Variation of Two Sum problem and Number of Islands problem). I did both of them and got selected for interviews.

Round 2 (Technical Round):
The interview started with the common question: 'Tell me about yourself' (Answered based on my technical skills). Then he asked a few questions about my project.

Next set of questions were related to web designing. Basic HTML, CSS and JS syntactical questions. Then he asked me to design a form considering all the constraints that will be required and how an email can be validated? I had mentioned about SEO in my resume, so a few questions were from that as well.

Next questions were from OOPS based on a real life example. What data structures can be used in printers, and a coding question to check if a string is a palindrome or not and sum all the vowels present in the palindrome. I wrote the code on paper and showed him into the camera. He also asked about the corner cases and the cases which are not valid for the code I had written.

A few questions were also based on the topics of Operating System such as deadlock, process and threading. He also wanted to know if I have any idea of agile methodology and UML. I answered those questions using an example based on 'Scrum'. The interview ended after I asked him a few questions.

Observation: The interviewer was fully satisfied with my answers. I missed one question about the cases which are not valid for the code I had written. But the interviewer gave some hints. Otherwise, the interview was fine.

Round 3 (HR Round):
I cleared first round and almost an hour later got a mail for HR round.

So, here are the questions that were asked to me:

  • Tell me about yourself again. (Answered based on my extra curricular activities)
  • What, how and why Developer student club?
  • What was your previous HR's name?
  • Why did you apply in the company?
  • Have you ever been to Bangalore? Do you like travelling?
  • Why did you choose your college?
  • What is the biggest risk you have taken?
  • Do you regret not going into the fashion world?
  • Have you ever worked with more than 3-4 people?

I also discussed about one of the previous projects done by the company and the HR was impressed that I had done my homework.

Observation: This was more of a conversational round. The HR was supportive and friendly. The interview went well.

Result: I finally got selected.

Suggestion:

  • Do prepare for the commonly asked questions. Watch a few videos on youtube for HR round.
  • I used GFG and LeetCode to practice for Data Structures and Algorithms and that was enough for me.
  • Do research about the company and discuss something about it during the interview. This shows that you are interested in the company.
  • While answering the questions, if you feel that you are familiar with the question or have done it before, give it a try. Don't give up so easily.
  • Remember, the interviewer always wants to know the way you approach a problem. So, deliver your thought process.
