I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Aug 2021. There were 4 interview rounds.

Interview Questionnaire 

6 Questions

  • Q1. What is pointer ?
  • Ans. 

    A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable.

    • Pointers are used to manipulate memory directly.

    • They can be used to pass large data structures to functions without copying them.

    • Pointers can be used to create dynamic data structures like linked lists and trees.

    • They can also be used to access hardware directly.

    • Examples of pointer types include int*, char*, and void*.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Swap 2 numbers without using 3rd variable
  • Ans. 

    Swap 2 numbers without using 3rd variable

    • Use addition and subtraction

    • Use multiplication and division

    • Use bitwise XOR operation

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Fibonacci series with and without recursion
  • Ans. 

    Answering Fibonacci series with and without recursion

    • Fibonacci series is a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones

    • Recursion method involves calling the function within itself

    • Non-recursive method involves using a loop to calculate the series

    • Recursive method is slower and can cause stack overflow for large inputs

    • Non-recursive method is faster and more efficient for large inputs

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Print series of prime numbers
  • Ans. 

    Print series of prime numbers

    • Start with 2 as the first prime number

    • Check if each number greater than 2 is divisible by any number less than it

    • If not, add it to the list of prime numbers

    • Continue until desired number of primes are found

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Basic Electronics questions because my branch was Electronics and Communication
  • Q6. SQL Query to outer join
  • Ans. 

    An outer join in SQL retrieves records from both tables, including unmatched rows from either side.

    • Outer joins can be LEFT, RIGHT, or FULL, depending on which table's unmatched rows you want to include.

    • Example of LEFT JOIN: SELECT * FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.id = B.id; // Includes all from A and matched from B.

    • Example of RIGHT JOIN: SELECT * FROM A RIGHT JOIN B ON A.id = B.id; // Includes all from B and matched from A.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Technical rounds would be based on the interviewer and the difficulty would be from good to higher side.
Would suggest the candidate should represent the actual experience with the interviewer.
Be real and emphasise on the challenges that you faced in your current company and how you handled it. It's not always that you have to show yourself as extra smart or hardworking candidate, do share your failure experiences and how it helped you to identify the reasons for the failures.
Lastly again I would say be real and true to your CV.

Making a Career Move — Safe Bet or Fast Track?
I’m a Software Developer with 4 years of experience and currently facing a tough career decision. I have two job offers: One is from a large, stable, and reliable organization with a strong brand, structured processes, and good work-life balance. The other is from a smaller, fast-growing company that promises faster learning, more responsibilities, and slightly better pay, but comes with uncertainty and less stability. At this stage of my career, should I prioritize stability and long-term security, or go for rapid growth and technical exposure? Would appreciate insights from anyone who’s made a similar choice — what path did you take, and how did it shape your career?
