Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the first round they asked a qs of topological ordering and asked me the name of algorithm which i applied to solve that question the answer was kann's algorithm
In the second round, They asked me a question about string handling which finally boiled down to a tree traversal kind of question this was medium level question mainly focused on testing implementation skills
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
It was online and fairly standart. You will be sent a Google Meet link after scheduling with your interviewer. You will be asked one or two coding questions for STEP and SWE Intern positions. If you pass the technical rounds, you will be advanced to the team matching phase. As a tip, team matching is unfortunately not a guarantee and you should definitely continue looking for other opportunities as long as you don't have an offer in your hand.
