Round: HR Interview
Experience: I thought this was last round as they have said like.She asked me about my strengths and challenges I faced.How I overcame through it1.Basic question on oops concepts.(runtime polymorphism).
2.Design tables for getting all employees under manager. I screwed it little bit.But some how I got answer which I was not satisfied as well.I was expecting result either yes/no.But they called me for another round of interview may be because of my expected salary which was high compared to my previous.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 1.Given “aaabbbccc” it should return “a3b3c3″ in place. Initially I explained brute force approach then he said array has 2n space.I was able to remember approach for quicksort and started explaining after which I grew confident on it.He was satisfied.Questions on time complexity of algo and space complexity discussions.2.Again a question on OOPs.This time I was completely wrong in answering it.I thought interview with yatra was closing for me.He was not satisified much with this.Luckily, there was another round with manager.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: 1.He asked me to find words which are having particular pattern.Then I said it was KMP algo. Can I explain it ?? I started explaining approach, may be he was busy with something, he asked me to write pseudo code.He left the room for 15 mins then he came back I had almost completed the code, which he was satisified.Some basic questions on spring ( my previous work was related to it). Then my expected salary and my position If I got selected in yatra were discussed.
