Round difficulty - Medium
This round had 2 Algorithmic questions wherein I was supposed to code both the problems after discussing their approaches and respective time and space complexities . After that , I was grilled on some OOPS concepts related to C++.
What is Vtable and VPTR in C++?
What Friend Functions in C++?
Round duration - 60 minutes
Round difficulty - Medium
This was also a DS/Algo round where I was given 2 questions to solve and I was expected to come up with the optimal approach as far as possible. I solved both the questions with the optimal time and space complexities and then I was asked some more questions related to DBMS towards the end of the interview.
Difference between the DELETE and TRUNCATE command in a DBMS.
What is meant by normalization and denormalization?

Round duration - 60 Minutes
Round difficulty - Hard
In this round, I was asked 3 coding questions out of which I had to implement the first two and for the last question I was only asked the optimal approach. The main challenge in this round was to implement the first two questions in a production ready manner without any bugs and so I had to spent some time thinking about some Edge Cases which were important with respect to the question.

Top view of binary tree.
Deletion from the linked list(All cases).
Do practice a lot of questions on linked list and stacks as these are two most important data structures asked in the interview. Also, try to implement it yourself without seeing the solution. Also prepare for Computer Science subjects like Operating System, Database Management System, Computer Networks, etc. I prepared them through Coding Ninjas notes which were simpler and easy to understand.
Application resume tips for other job seekersKeep your resume short and up to mark and check spellings before submitting it for the interview process.
