Hello EveryOne,First of all I will like to thanks the leetcode community for helping me in preparing for my placements. I have used leetcode regularly for the last 10 months and had solved approximately 500 questions with good mix of easy, medium and hard questions.Solving leetcode questions give me a fair idea about the level of questions asked and i prepare accordingly.
Now lets start interview experience:it includes total 4 rounds(1 OA+2 technical rounds+1 hiring manager round)
Online Assesment Round: 3 questions

  1. Adhoc type question:-one persion starting from one point x and moving n steps rectilinearly. Another person satrting from x2 and his first step falls at one of steps of first person. Find the maximum overlapping steps.
    2.Dp problem like the minimum numbers of steps to reach the end of array
    3.minimum spanning tree problem: Given the directed weighted edges , reach from source to destination with minimum cost if we are allowed to skip K steps.

I solved 2 completly and passed 12 out of 14 tests in 3rd and got shortlisted for interviews.

Techincal Interview 1(ps/Ds/algo round)
I was all virtual the the amcat smart meet plateform. Interviewer was a Software engineer with 3 year of experinece. First of all interviewer greeted me and i did the same.then asked me to introduce myself.Then asked the coding questions.
Questions were:

  1. Binary tree questions(left view ,right view,bottom view,top view and level order traversal) and asked to code the bottom view
  2. min stack questions which perform all operations in o(1) time and o(1) space
  3. rotate matrix by 90 inplace

I answered all questions in first and got call for next round.

Technical Round 2 (Only Problem Solving): No introduction . Just started with coding questions
1.Given a matrix of 0,1,2 and count all paths starting from 1 and reaching to 2 and covering all the zeros. I did it using backtracking and the asked to print all the complete paths also for which i stored all the movements in vector and once reached destination printed the vector.
2.Encodeand decode N-ary tree in and from binary tree. I used the concepts like the populating the next pointer in level order . I assigned left of binary tree for childs and right for siblings and he was satisfied with approach and moves to next question.
3.Given an array seprate the array such that all elements with same value should be in one partition. I used hashing and sliding window to solve this question. and he was satisfied with my answers.
And ended the interview and got mail for next round in 15 minutes.
