Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: 1) Objective Paper - i)Basic C questions
ii) DS questions covering Graphs and Trees
iii) Analysis of Algo. Questions.
iv) There were more but I can’t remember


Round: Problem Statement
Experience: I attempted question Number 3 very well which was also brought up in my 3rd tech Interview. It was what got me through I assume.

Screening Test: 6-8 people in a room were taken and were given the following problem to solve -
“ There are two given sorted Linked lists. Merge them to form a single sorted Linked list. In case of duplicates, delete copies”
In one batch, people were also told to write test cases.

Tips: Speed, Accuracy and Covering as many cases which may arise as possible in the code
Points where every VJTIan committed mistakes - !) In case of duplicates, only one node was inserted into the single linked list, but nobody freed up the memory of the other node by using free. they expect that.
2) modularization - In case one of the linked lists is over, we simply append the remaining elements of the other array into the single linked list. This was expected to be done by a single function taking parameters.

Why I cleared - Finished Coding around 12 mins before everybody and committed no mistakes which others made. The above two are the only things I didn’t do


Round: Technical Interview
Experience: No. 2 - 1) Design an Offline Browsing Experience
An one and half hour discussion was held on this, where he asked me Line of thought in designing the product, the thinking behind various proposed features, Made changes in the requirements, told to propose new features as per new requirements for at least 4 features, How will you implement the feature - show UI and block Diagram, what data structures will you use for the feature etc etc.
Was checking Designing aptitude and how many new features proposed

No 3 - 1)How will you implement an N-ary tree (N has no limit) and write code for BFS on that N-ary tree based on the implementation
Gave her Three implementations. She only settled for the one which She wanted
2) Write code foe the node of the tree and the above BFS

3) The weight of the node is given as Value of node*level of node. Write a function which returns the address of a node with the MAXWEIGHT in a binary tree
I gave Non-recursive solution. She then asked for a recursive solution
Code for both Recursive and Non-recursive she made me write

4) Given an array of n elements which have numbers in the range of 0 to n-1, find if the array has any duplicate elements

5) Write code to return position of the duplicate element
Was just checking coding knowledge
Tips: 1) Accuracy is not very important, approach is. If you are wrong, you should be able to tell why you are wrong before the interviewer tells you. The interviewers help a lot, but getting the correct solution is required
2) Write as tight code as possible in aptis and interviews. From freeing nodes, to returning boolean instead of Int, to Using struct instead of two separate variables, every bit of efficiency is appreciated and earns you a lot of points
3) Keenness to learn is a very important quality which they see when they are considering a PM candidate. It is hard to fake that. They usually deduce it by the way you talk.
4) For PM, they take the ‘Do you have a question for me’ very very seriously. Ask genuine questions and don’t ask rubbish. People are usually good and teach you a lot when you ask them good questions
5) The Microsoft process is meticulous and you will enjoy it if you love solving puzzles. An opportunity to show your talent or aptitude is given to you if you ask.
6) For people looking for PM, read a lot(Newspapers/tech blogs/technologies), think a lot - that’s all you can do for it.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Round 2- For LinkedList question, I was first stunned but stumbled my way through it.

Received a prompt from the interviewer because I started at the wrong end of the LinkedList. Managed to get to the right solution.

For drone-based solution.I spoke of farmers needs as I understood them.Mentioned that this applies only to farmers with large land holdings, not the typical farmer in India with tiny land. Interviewer agreed to pursue this persona. Mentioned the advantages of the drone, it could quickly traverse the farm, reach remote parts without any humans moving. Drone could be used to detect water-logging during monsoon,invasions from pests and monitor crop health. Was asked to specify a rough scanning algorithm for a single drone.

For large file editor, I converted the problem to editing large video files generated during TV/Movie recording. Mentioned the two processes in post-production – heavy editing to get the footage in sequence and finally some light touch-ups and tunings. Mentioned caching next/previous contents of the file locally for easy access. Provided an index-based navigation structure and generating thumbnails for previews to prevent retrieving the actual file. Was asked if different parts of the editing process should have different products/editors, I said yes as needs and patience levels are different, products should be separate. Alternatively, they can be different modes of the same products (the way Photoshop does it).
