Worst candidature experience. I was asked a question for which I wrote code on paper. The interviewer found bugs like not printing a message to the user and declaring variables inside the loop (even though it worked). He spoke for 4 minutes and expected me to remember every detail. I learned that a bug can be defined as missing a print statement in a paper-based coding test. The interviewer seemed unhappy because he believed a logic is incomplete without a right message. He exhibited unprofessional gestures throughout. Tip: write down the question and verify with the interviewer, and don't forget to use print statements excessively.

- Given two strings representing version numbers, implement a function to compare them. Return true if the first version is greater than or equal to the second version, otherwise return false.

Coding Technical
The interview process had 2 rounds. Round 1 involved coding questions: one about a mouse in a maze which I solved with backtracking, and another about finding the kth smallest element in two sorted arrays. Round 2 was with the VP and was quite challenging. It included a question about checking divisibility by N for an infinite binary bit stream, and another about matching a regular expression with a string. The interviewer also asked me to write code that was good, readable, and bug-free.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Can you write a program to solve the mouse in a maze problem?
- How would you find the kth smallest element in two sorted arrays?
- How can you determine if a number represented by an infinite stream of binary bits is divisible by N?

Technical Coding Presentation Behavioral
A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn for a weekend technical chat. They explained the evaluation process, roles, salary, and key focus areas beforehand. On the interview day, they clarified the number of interview levels and the elimination process. They were very responsive throughout, from scheduling to updates and arranging interviews.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you explain your general testing process, your approach to performance testing, what NUnit is, and how coded ui functions? What distinguishes coded ui from telerik? What is the difference between SOAP and RESTful services, and how would you test web services? Also, let's discuss testing within agile versus traditional delivery models.
- Design and write code for a poker game scenario. The game should have several tables, each with 6 seats. The system needs to assign available seats to players waiting in line, and each player starts with 100 poker chips.
- Imagine a double linked list where the 'next' pointers are in order, but the 'prev' pointers are randomly assigned. Your task is to write code that duplicates this data structure exactly.
