Accolite Interview Experience (On-Campus)

Accolite visited our campus for hiring. It had 4 rounds in total.

Round 1: First was an MCQ round which had questions from DSA, OS, DBMS, C++, a few students were shortlisted for the next round.

Round 2: The next Round was a coding test, it had one coding question on graph http://codeforces.com/problemset/problem/919/d (different language though). 15 people qualified for this round.

Round 3: Next was a PI round, there was a maam on the other side, started with a general question asked me if I know DSA I said yes, then asked if I know OOPs, I said yes.

Then she asked me about the static function and static variable, I answered, then she asked me about the virtual function and its use.

Then she asked me open any compiler I opened CodeChef online compiler, then she shared her Word doc which had a question, and she asked me to come up with the approach.

1. Split an array into two equal Sum subarrays. It was a new question for me I had never seen this question before, but I was able to come up with an approach, and she looked satisfied now she asked me to code it and test her test cases. I did and after some debugging, my code worked and it passed her Test cases. She was satisfied and asked me to copy the solution to her Word doc.
2. Then she asked me a few questions related to BST, BT, and AVL tree I answered them all. Create a BT from scratch and print this leaf node (she pointed out one), as that node was on the extreme left I said we can do a Postorder traversal she then said what if the node is at some other place, I said oh in that case we have to do a level order traversal and print the nodes in the last level she looked satisfied and asked me if I can code, I said I can try. I created a BST from scratch to test I did the preOrder traversal and then I created a function to do a level order traversal and printed the node in the last level. She looked satisfied.

This round lasted about 1hr 15 min.

4 people were shortlisted for the next round.

Round 4: Next was a techno material round, he started with some basic HR questions, then he moved on to DSA and asked a few questions, then he started asking question-related about web technology which I was not aware of I said sir I don’t know web technology then he said your DSA concepts are very strong, let me test your logical thinking he asked me to come up with an approach used in Elevators I said something, then he asked me about round-robin algorithm I answered, then he asked me to come up with a DS for Round Robbin and a few more logical questions.

This round lasted for more than 1 hour.

2 people were selected for the FT role. I was one of them.
