Coding
So basically there was this DSA round. It started with a quick intro, like 4-5 minutes. The interviewer introduced himself first, then I did. After that, I was given two problems to solve, both were Leetcode Medium/Medium-Hard difficulty and we had about 60 minutes to solve them. The interviewer was really looking for the most optimal solution.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- For a given integer N, how would you print all numbers from 1 to N in lexicographical order?
- Given a matrix of N rows and M columns containing only 0s and 1s, what's the largest square composed entirely of 1s you can find within it?

Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview process involved 1 Online Assessment (OA) followed by 4 rounds. The OA had 2 DSA questions (medium to hard), 1 SQL question, and 4 MCQs. I managed to fully solve one DSA question and got 10/15 test cases on the other. The SQL question was straightforward, but I hadn't revised it, so I couldn't code it. Rounds 1 and 2 were both DSA rounds, each featuring one medium and one hard question. Apparently, the first round featured questions from Striver's sheet for everyone. Round 3 was with the Hiring Manager and focused on my resume. Round 4 was a standard HR Behavioral round, but only about 3-4 students could attend due to time constraints. I made it to Round 3. In total, 14 students from our college were considered.

Coding System Design
The first round was a coding challenge. The second round involved both coding and a design problem. In the first round, the interviewer seemed impatient, not giving enough time to think and solve the problem, expecting fully running code. The second round was better, with a good discussion. HR doesn't provide feedback proactively; you have to ask for updates, and they don't even track individual interviews.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you serialize and deserialize a binary tree?
- How would you implement an LRU cache?
- Design a chessboard game.

Read reports →“Given an integer array arr, partition the array into contiguous subarrays of length at most k. After partitioning, each subarray has its values changed to become the maximum value of that subarray. Return the largest sum of the given array after partitioning. Test cases are generated so that the answer fits in a 32-bit integer.”
