Last Updated : 24 Jul, 2025

1st Round - This was an online coding exam consisting of 3 questions from DS/Algo and 3 questions on SQL. The difficulty level was medium, the overall time to solve all the questions was 2 hours.  

2nd Round -  This was the first technical interview, it started with a basic introduction and about what I was doing in my last job.  

  • Given an array, A[] and a number x, check for pair in A[] with sum as x

  • Virtual Functions, How Compiler works?
  • Types of Schedules in DBMS

  • Indexing in DBMS.

  • Difference between runtime and compile-time polymorphism with example.

3rd Round -  This was the second technical interview, it started with a basic introduction like last time. He started with the first question -

  • Count all triplets whose sum is equal to a perfect cube

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/count-triplets-whose-sum-equal-perfect-cube/

  • Find Union and Intersection of two unsorted arrays

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/find-union-and-intersection-of-two-unsorted-arrays/

  • Reverse a linked list

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/reverse-a-linked-list/

  • Counting the frequency of people’s ages in a set of million datasets.  

(Practice questions related to hashing).

Few more SQL queries involving joins.  

4th Round -  This was the third technical interview, it started with a basic introduction like last time. He started with the first question -

  • Find distance between two nodes of a Binary Tree

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/find-distance-between-two-nodes-of-a-binary-tree/

  • It involved solving the Lowest Common Ancestor in a Binary Tree

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/lowest-common-ancestor-binary-tree-set-1/

And then there were 2 queries which were comparatively easier as compared to the last rounds.

5th Round - This was a managerial/behavioral round. It again started with a basic introduction and then we started discussing the projects I've worked on and why I am shifting so soon from my previous job. He then shifted to these questions  

  • Difference between TCP/UDP.  
  • How does the C + + compiler work?  
  • If you have to implement MS-Excel using a Data Structure, how would you do that?  
  • Involving deletion and addition of rows and columns.  
  • Some questions related to compiler design.  
  • Can an Abstract class contain a non-abstract method?
