Experience1: 3 Rounds

Round 1: Given a file with numbe rs of 7 digits each, number 10 will be represented as 0000010.
But all numbers are of 7 digits. Sort these numbers.

Round 2:

1) Two poles each of length 15m are at distance d. A rope of length of 16m is tied from the top
one pole to the other. Distance between lowest point of rope and ground is 7m. Find distance d..

2) Sum 2 numbers represented as linked list.

Round 3:

shortest such path.

2) Given top­left and bottom­right coordinates of two rectangles whose sides are parallel to axes.
Find whether these 2 rectangles are intersecting.

IITB: 4 Rounds

Round 1 : Given set of points ,print all possible rectangles that have sides parallel to axes.
Rest of the interview was on machine learning

Round 2 : Given an array of nodes of a tree in random order, print the pretty print of tree. Each
node in array contains node value and parent index. parent of root is ­1.

Round 3:
1) Print and remove nth node from circular linked list till the list becomes empty
2) Min win required for 4 teams to qualify out of 8 teams if each team plays twice with each of the
other teams
Round 4:

AMAZON
@IITK:
Round 1: Problems on DS and algo (write code)
Round 2: Problems on DS and algo (harder problems, write code too)
Round 3: Some puzzles and harder problems than the previous rounds, they don’t expect
you to write code but are analysing how you approach the problems, asked about some
definitions from OS (virtual memory, semaphores, deadlock).
Round 4: I was called for round 4 (may be HR) but I already got 2 offers from better places,
so asked them to drop me.

CITRIX?

Can anyone update the questions of


CITRIX @IITG. Please…. Please….

ADOBE?

XEROX LABS
Heavy weightage to your projects. MTech project is asked in deep detail in all the
interviews. Basics of c++ as well as c. Moderate level algo questions. Did not require
coding. If you hach / publications, highlight them. Mostly their plan is to take 2 candidates
from each IIT. There were 3 rounds fve done any researor me, for my friend only 2. All the
rounds stress on project and research.
They will ask about courses that u have taken. They will prefer students having subjects
Machine learning, data mining related to analytics.
They will ask project in detail. If u tell them about ML, then surely some algorithm they can
ask like decision tree, bayesian, K means , SVM. They asked Bayes theorem. Mainly they
will ask about ur project.
IITG:
Addition to the above:
1. find median in an unsorted array without using sorting.
http://discuss.codechef.com/questions/1489/find­median­in­an­unsorted­array­without­sorti
ng­it
2. sort linklist.
**Write java/other advanced languages in ur CV only if u have a good understanding on
those as they ask questions from them.

@IITK (For Budding Scientist profile)


Round 1: Kind of a rapid fire round with hard problems on DS, algorithms and
mathematics. I was expected to write code for the DS­algo problems.
Round 2: Kind of an HR round, asked me about my research interests and whether I would
be interested in working on theoretical problems that are a bit different from my present
interests.
Got an offer. They told me they are only hiring 4­5 people for this post across the nation. I
guess only I got the offer here.
(For Research Engineer)
Similar to what is written on the first paragraph, my friends who got this offer had 3 rounds.
They offered to two candidates.

SAP LAB(India Profile)


Heavy weightage on MTP(Your Mtech project ??yes), will ask in detail about your
contribution . If your project involves certain data structures which are used, questions will
be asked on those.
DBMS
Questions from subjects mentioned in your CV
How to do memory allocation using malloc() and deallocation using free()
Some c++ funda
Simple algorithms
3 rounds( 2 technical 1 HR)
CTC=14(11 + 3 breakup) , location=pune , and number of hires=2?? Thank you
Will give the offer immediately if selected

Nutanix
@IITK
Round 1: Two algo problems and you have to write their code also.
Eliminated 70% of the total shortlisted candidates after that
Round 2: Problems on Linked list only, the more you solve, the more problems they will ask
Didn’t call for anyone (except me, maybe) after the round.

All the panels start interviewing candidates at the same time and ask the same set of
problems.
Round 3: I guess this one was an HR one, I got a better offer already so declined to
interview.
They offered to none.

Citicorp@IITD

3 interviews all technical+HR,related to MTP and favourite subjects,some coding and design
questions were there.

NEC?

Epic
2 Rounds: 1 Technical and 1 HR
How many were shortlisted for interview and how many final job offers? IIT R and
others? 15, most of them rejected Epic due to visa issues and poor job reviews. 3 got the final
offer.

Only one question.


How will you model flight details and use it for returning flight information against a query from
user? (Similar to yatra.com or makemytrip.com.)
What are parameters that will be used to rank the results after flight query?
How would the interface look like?

WAS THERE ANY HR TOO?


Yes.

@IITK:
Round 1: Talked to a technical guy for 10 minutes, asked me about my internship project
Round 2: Around 20 minutes with an HR, questions like why EPIC, etc?
Then got the offer.
Total offers: 10, I refused and I think 2 more refused (although I am not sure) How many
Shortlisted for interview?
Oracle
c++, java brush up the concepts… almost for each candidate one round will be of this.
Be prepared for questions from UNIX. Can you be a little precise ? ­ (IPC)
Any database related questions ? How many rounds
are there? Plz….Plz….
Any programming Questions???
Someone plz add more details for oracle
1-in an array remove all duplicate occurrences except first
2-for a matrix describe how u find the shortest path between two nodes
3-in an array find second largest element
4-find if in an array there exist a pair whose sum is 25
5-linked list,find the middle element using only one loop,merging point of two link list
6-fibonacci series
7-implement queue using stack

3 Rounds : Around 40 min each

(Questions for me were more focussed towards Design) ­­­­> What about others? ­ (They
also asked a lot of DP questions.)

3. Given a grid where you are at one position and rat is at another position. You Can go from one
node to another if there is a door between them otherwise not. You have to find a path to go from
rat to cheese and return the path

4. Local Maxima: a no greater than all of its neighbors


Given an unordered array, find one local maxima. How much time it will take minimum ?? Can it
be less than O(N). If yes then how and if no then why not ?

5. Given a square where you have characters at every grid. From current point you can go one
step up down right, or left.
Given a string, how many times that string occurred in the grid ? Time n Space complexity ??

Please post some more interview experiences


Goldman Sachs (Strategies Division)
3 Rounds ( Could be more if they are uncertain. )
Round 1 : (40 minutes)
2 questions on probability and finding expectation value. (Medium and medium hard).
2 questions on database design.
Write a program to print power set of a given set.

Round 2 : (90 minutes)


Completely Open Ended.
I had never seen such kind of questions.
They gave me scenarios (finance based), and I had to use data mining concepts to come up
with a solution. ( By the end of my interview I had used clustering, decision tree, classification,
bayesian probability theory and what not!)
Write a program to calculate square root. (Newton’s method)

Round 3 : (40 minutes)

A puzzle whose solution was fibonacci. (I don’t know how to draw the question.)
Find nth fibonacci. (I gave them matrix exponentiation approach.)

Then one more interviewer joined, he was from US.


He asked whether I knew what Design patterns are? (You can read Design Patterns, Gang of
Four)
He asked me to write a function class and an algorithm class. Then he asked me to write a third
class (having function and algorithm object ­ this technique is called composition) which could
dynamically assign function and algorithm and then use that algorithm in the assigned function
using object of the third Class.

(After third round, they gave me the offer.)

Tips : They asked questions based on my research area (which is data mining) and resume. So
be prepared on that. Also, they were framing questions on the fly, based on how you answer
them. So for my interview, there was nothing I could have prepared beforehand.

Any other GOLDMAN SACHS Interviewee ?

starting person. How would you play so that you will be the last person and giving only 1 block to
other person.
5. Standard Probability and mathematical questions. (Expectation etc)
