Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: First round was a simple round which involved 10 multiple choice questions and 3 coding questions on hackerrank platform.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Mainly on topics like networks, data structures and algorithms, operating systems. The interviewers looked for people who have had prior experience in web development and asked questions regarding web development in depth too.
Tips: I recommend everyone to read the book titled, 'Cracking the Coding Interview' as it was helpful in my approach to an interview.

General Tips: The one major thing that would give you the edge in joining Myntra would definitely be exposure to web development. Since it is not a part of the curriculum , it's all the more important for you to familiarize yourself with web development. In fact, a few projects in the same field would put you in a very advantageous position to get the job.
Skill Tips: 1. Start your placement preparations well ahead, no point regretting later.
2. Keep a concise resume. Do not take your resume to several pages.
3. Do not neglect aptitude preparation. Many people do this mistake and end up not clearing the first round for several companies.
4. Be thorough with your basics across all subjects. (Do not neglect any subject, even they you may like a few and dislike the others.)
5. Keep in mind, the interviewers are really friendly and try to make sure that you're not nervous during the interview. All they want to do is to test you. Be confident and give it your best shot.

Myntra had conducted a coding test on campus before the start of the placement season with 2 questions, one on stack and other on DP.
Tips : For the test, the DP question asked was pretty standard, on Longest Common Subsequence. The question on stacks, I don't remember what it was but it was also pretty straight forward. For the test, I would recommend to solve problem from GFG. If they do come to resume shortlisting, they are looking for people who have done good projects and internships.

I wasn't asked to write any code in this interview. They asked me some questions on Machine Learning, because of my projects in them. Then they asked me if I knew graph algorithms. Since I knew BFS and DFS, I told them. They asked the difference between the two. Then they asked me if I knew how to find the shortest distance between two points in a graph. I didn't know Dijkstra's properly but I knew it worked on the greedy approach so was able to tell that. Then they asked me how would I find the second shortest path. I tried to answer it with the same greedy approach, but couldn't arrive at the complete solution.
Tips: They ask a tough theoretical question. It's ok if you don't know the answer, they only look for your approach.

  • Q1. 

    BFS Traversal in a Graph

    Given an undirected and disconnected graph G(V, E) where V vertices are numbered from 0 to V-1, and E represents edges, your task is to output the BFS traversal starting from the ...

  • Ans. 

    BFS traversal in a disconnected graph starting from vertex 0.

    • Use a queue to keep track of nodes to visit next in BFS traversal

    • Start traversal from vertex 0 and explore its neighbors first

    • Continue exploring neighbors level by level until all nodes are visited

    • Ensure to print connected nodes in numerical sort order

  • Q2. 

    DFS Traversal Problem Statement

    Given an undirected and disconnected graph G(V, E), where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges, the connections between vertices are provided in the 'GR...

  • Ans. 

    DFS traversal to find connected components in an undirected and disconnected graph.

    • Perform DFS traversal on each vertex to find connected components

    • Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices

    • Print the vertices of each connected component in ascending order

  • Q3. 

    Dijkstra's Shortest Path Problem

    Given an undirected graph with ‘V’ vertices (labeled 0, 1, ... , V-1) and ‘E’ edges, where each edge has a weight representing the distance between two connected nodes (X,...

  • Ans. 

    Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest path from a source node to all other nodes in a graph with weighted edges.

    • Implement Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path distances from the source node to all other nodes in the graph.

    • Use a priority queue to efficiently select the next node with the shortest distance.

    • Update the distances of neighboring nodes based on the current node's distance and edge weight...
