I applied via Instahyre and was interviewed in Jan 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Coding Test 

The interviewer first asked me a puzzle and then asked me two DSA questions.
Puzzle: There are a large number of people sitting in a circular table with numbering as 1,2,3..
Given two numbers a and b, how to find out whether they are sitting opposite to each other or not.
DSA 1: Finding out the minimum capacity required to load the ship with all the weights given in an array in d days. (Binary Search approach)
DSA2: Given an array containing information about parents of a node in a tree, and q queries. Each query would contain the node number and a value n. You have to find the nth parent for the given node. You have to do this in such a way that the time complexity is less than linear and the memory usage is also minimal.
This was a tricky question where I was unable to give a logarithmic solution initially but with some hints from the interviewer, I was able to approach it.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Just be confident in the interview and prepare with some puzzle questions. Whatever may the puzzle be, just keep your mind open. Keep thinking out loud in front of the interviewer and he will also give you some hints.
For DSA, be prepared with the standard DSA questions of every topic and whether or not you have solved the question earlier does not matter. Just be confident and look for solvong the question step by step.
