Round 2: DSA/PSDS

(1 hr for solution discussion, optimization and coding)

In this round, I was asked 2 LC-Medium problems and the panel were all SDE-2s working at Flipkart.

Problem 1: Although I don’t remember the exact problem, I could reduce the question to finding overlapping intervals based on certain scenarios which can be solved by the line sweeps approach:

Problem2: Standard problem: Print Level order traversal of a binary tree using Given Inorder and Preorder Traversal

https://leetcode.com/problems/construct-binary-tree-from-preorder-and-inorder-traversal/description/

Code should compile and execute all test cases and should be neat. Explain your intuition and logic clearly.

Concepts used in the above problems- Sorting, TreeSet, Binary Trees, Recursive Subproblems

I had solved around 120 medium problems in Leetcode, so this was an easy one.

This was just a normal connection with the hiring manager discussing the technical ecosystem, the LOBs, team structure, culture fitment and understanding of the role. I had a few follow-up questions and the manager was very well-spoken and responded very clearly. It was great to get some insights into the organization and understand the scale at which tech operates there. Also talked about individual progression, benefits and most importantly the Engineering culture....
