Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Leaf Technologies used a text analytic method of shortlisting resumes. The interviewer informed me that we were graded on basis of academics, leadership and knowledge of data science.
Tips: Pay attention when drafting your resume. Highlight all the important leadership roles you have. Be crystal clear on every word you put in.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Very frank discussion. The interviewer wanted to see if my goals aligned with that of the startup and if I had the drive, skills and cultural fit.
Tips: If you are clear about your own profile, you will be fine answering questions about it. Adopt a clear methodical method for the case study. Write down neatly. Do not hesitate to ask for time to think and put your thoughts in order.

General Tips: Understand your strengths,weaknesses and talents clearly. Identify which kind of company and post you desire. Contact seniors, and utilize interview experience to understand the general testing process of these companies. For instance, all companies offering an analyst role require aptitude tests. CAT prep helped me, but if you are uninterested in that, then you must still work hard on these skills. Drive the interview yourself. Dont be timid. If you really want the job, it should show in your voice. Say straight out why you want to work for the company and gain their attention in the first tell me about yourself question itself.
Skill Tips: Be clear about your resume. Practice to improve aptitude

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: I am interested in the Energy sector. The company works in developing a device to help households reduce energy consumption. Also, being a well funded startup run by IIT Bombay graduates, the company gave me the opportunity of a great learning experience  coupled with a higher than average pay package.

Question 1:
"""
1. The Good and The Bad City

There is a blood bank which maintains two tables: DONOR that contains information on the people who are willing to donate blood and ACCEPTOR, the people who are in need of blood. The bank wants to conduct a survey and find out the city that has the best and the worst donor sum amount/acceptor sum amount ratio. Both ratios are unique. That is, exactly one city has the best ratio and exactly one city has the worst ratio.
The donor sum amount is the total amount of blood, regardless of blood group, that people are ready to donate. The acceptor sum amount is the total amount of blood needed by that city.
There must be exactly two rows that denote the best and the worst ratios. The order of the rows does not matter. Each row must contain the following attributes:

1. The city's name (CITY).
2. The ratio ( donor sum amount / acceptor sum amount ), correct to 4 decimal places.

The schema of the two tables is given below:
Schema
DONOR
Name Type Description
ID Integer It is the ID of the donor.
NAME String It is the name of the donor.
GENDER Character It is the gender of the donor.
CITY String It is the city where the donor lives.
BLOOD_GROUP String It is the blood group of the donor.
AMOUNT Integer It is the amount of blood in pints, which the donator can donate.
ACCEPTOR
Name Type Description
ID Integer It is the id of the acceptor.
NAME String It is the name of the acceptor.
GENDER Character It is the gender of the acceptor.
CITY String It is the city where the acceptor lives.
BLOOD_GROUP String It is the blood group of the acceptor.
AMOUNT Integer It is the amount of blood in pints, which the acceptor needs.
Sample Data Tables
DONOR
ID NAME GENDER CITY BLOOG_GROUP AMOUNT
1 MARIA F Warne, NH AB+ 7
2 DOROTHY F East Natchitoches, PA AB+ 3
3 CHARLES M East Natchitoches, PA A- 6
4 DOROTHY F East Natchitoches, PA AB+ 9
5 MICHAEL M Warne, NH A+ 1
ACCEPTOR
ID NAME GENDER CITY BLOOG_GROUP AMOUNT
1 LINDA F Warne, NH A+ 9
2 CHARLES M Warne, NH AB+ 8
3 RICHARD M East Natchitoches, PA AB+ 3
4 LINDA F East Natchitoches, PA A+ 1
5 PATRICIA F Warne, NH A+ 5

Sample Output

East Natchitoches, PA 4.5000
Warner, NH 0.3636



Explanation

The amount of blood available for donation in East Natchitoches, PA is 3 + 6 + 9 = 18.

The amount of blood needed in East Natchitoches, PA is 3 +1 = 4.

Hence, the ratio is = ( 18 : 4 ) = 4.5000.

The amount of blood available for donation in Warne, NH is 1 + 7 = 8.

The amount of blood needed in Warne, NH is 9 + 8 + 5 = 22.

Hence, the ratio is = ( 8 : 22 ) = 0.3636.

Sample Output

C-4 4 5
C-5 1 10

Explanation

By referring to the sample data above, we find that:

For category C-1, there are two products P-2 and P-5 with discount 17 and 16 respectively. So the maximum discount is for product P-2 which is 17.
For category C-2, there is only one product P-3 with discount 19, so this is the product with maximum discount in this category.
For category C-4, there is only one product P-4 with discount 5, so this is the product with maximum discount in this category.
For category C-5, there is only one product P-1 with discount 10, so this is the product with maximum discount in this category.
