Interview Experience

I saw on LinkedIn that Swiggy is currently hiring Frontend Interns (React).

After filling the google forms and contacting SDEs and Managers. I received the link for the Online Assessment from the HR.

Round 1: Online Assessment

• 1 DSA Question (Easy) , based on Hashing and Arrays.
• MCQs based on HTML/JS/CSS fundamentals.
• React Coding Question: Implementing an API call and passing all the test cases.

Round 2: Machine Coding Round (60 Mins)
Idea was to build an autosuggestion input by calling an API as per the given input in react. It's preferably recommended to use codesandbox in this round. Later the interviewer asked me about my projects, previous internships and about react fundamentals.

Machine Coding round can tend to be monotonous. So make sure that the interviewer understands what you are coding. Maybe try having a conversation in between, ask their suggestions.

Round 3: PSDS (Problem Solving and Data Structures) (60 Mins)
As it says, it was mostly focused on problem solving and data structures.

Note: For Frontend interviews, generally you have to code your solutions in Javascript. Make sure to practice DSA in JS if you're preparing for any frontend interview.

The questions were mostly related to Arrays, Polyfills, Regular Expressions, Promises, Currying, Throttle, Debounce, etc. Later we discussed about our favourite Tech Stacks & Libraries.

Next, I didn't get any update for days, then got a call from the HR for conducting my Hiring Manager round on the same day 🙃.

Round 4: Hiring Manager Round
Started off as a general round where they told me about the project, etc.

Questions mostly related my resume, the projects I did and what were the major challenges and few questions related to Deployment pipelines, Event Loops, React, and Debugging.

Later, the same day I got a call from the HR telling that I've been selected.

Verdict: Selected

Few Tips if you're preparing for Frontend Interviews (as per my experience):

1. Focus on HTML/CSS/JS Fundamentals.
2. Practice Common Machine Coding problems in CodeSandbox before your interview (most interviewers prefer codesandbox).
3. Try to keep a good conversation at the end, Technology oriented maybe on favourite tech stacks, technologies or anything related to tech (only if the interviewer likes that, mostly they do because they are SDEs at the end ;) ).
4. Act chill (even if you're not).
5. Pray that you're lucky 💀.
6. Don't lose hope. Market is real bad.
