Interview Process
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first round was with a director who emphasized that they were not the hiring manager but were there to assist with the interview. This round focused on digging deeper into the resume and included behavioral questions. The second round was an online assessment (OA) with questions that were not particularly difficult.
Technical Questions
-
Array Manipulation: You are given an array of integers. For each element, determine if the value appears earlier or later in the array. Create two binary strings to represent these occurrences. In the first string, ‘1’ indicates that the number at that location appeared earlier in the array, and ‘0’ if not. In the second string, it represents occurrences later in the array.
Example: Input:[1, 2, 3, 2, 1]Output:["00011", "11000"] -
K-th Largest Value: You are given a permutation of integers from 1 to n. For each prefix of the array starting from length k, find the k-th largest value.
Example: Input:[4, 2, 1, 3], k = 2, Output:[2, 2, 3]
Tips & Insights
- Be prepared to discuss your resume in detail and anticipate behavioral questions.
- Practice array manipulation problems, particularly those involving binary strings and finding k-th largest values.
