Gen Senior Software Engineer Interview Experiences

1 interview found

I was interviewed before Mar 2021.

Round 1 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. How to check a number is power of 2
  • Ans. 

    To check if a number is a power of 2, we can use bitwise operations.

    • A power of 2 has only one bit set to 1, so we can use the bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.

    • If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.

    • For example, 8 (1000 in binary) is a power of 2, and 8 & 7 (0111 in binary) is 0.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Sort a stack without using another data structure
  • Ans. 

    Sort a stack without using another data structure

    • Use recursion to pop the top element and insert it at the bottom of the remaining stack

    • Repeat until the stack is sorted in ascending order

    • Time complexity: O(n^2), space complexity: O(n) due to recursion

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Check weather array have continuous increasing than decreasing value
  • Ans. 

    Check if array has continuous increasing and decreasing values

    • Loop through the array and check if each element is greater than the previous one

I was interviewed in Feb 2017.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Very first, the interviewers and their employees gave presentation about their products and company. They were very cool and very positive to motivate candidates. After that they started Round 1 that is test based on aptitude and logical problem, also containing c programmin and operating system problems.
Tips: If you have studied basics very well, you will clear the round 1 very easily. Study C programming and Linux Operating System concepts.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I am not specifying any question above because 2nd round i.e Technical Round 1 was continued to abt 1 and hour hours taken by 1 interviewer. If you give all answers confindently, obviously they all must be correct, you will be qualified to next techincal round.
Tips: Same as mentioned in round 1.
Study C programming & Operating System.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was Technical Round 2. It was taken by 3 interviewers asking questions randomly from random subject. Also, one took rapid fire round for 20-25 questions. If you qualified this round, then you can assume that you are selected. This round was also continued more than 1 hour.
Tips: Study Networking concepts

Round: HR Interview
Experience: If you are called for HR interview, then you can assume that you already selected as employee for company. This is round is just for formality to tell you CTC and location and joining, etc.
One thing I would like to mention that in each round they will ask you to tell about yourself. So prepare that too. In HR round, they asked me some tricky puzzles to solve since I mentioned that I am very good in maths so.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted online. All the questions were of medium standard and easy to crack if we have patience for thinking.

English comprehension level is slightly below the standard of CAT. Those who have the habit of reading English news paper can easily crack the test.

Data analysis questions were also of medium standard. Those who have knowledge about graphs, bar & pie charts can easily crack the exam.
Tips: Practice Aptitude questions from R S Agarwaal book and CAT material.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Over all interview experience is cool. Interviewers never grilled on anything. In many cases they have helped me to arrive at answers.
Tips: Read C++ and Oops concepts from E Balaguruswamy text book.
For Data structures and algorithms read 'Data structures' by Yeshwant kanethkar.
Minimum knowledge about all the courses of your department will be an added advantage. This will help you to depict you are sincere in your studies and don't have any personal constraints in learning a new thing.

General Tips: Just be confident and believe in yourself. You will get through.
