- You will be asked to code in a live editor in any programming language of your choice. Explain your code and your thoughts as you type the snippets.
- Interviewer will want you to solve the problem with the best approach. Read My Experience.
- You will also be asked questions on projects you have mentioned in your CV.
- Be confident in answering the questions. If you don’t know the answer, it’s better to tell the interviewer so rather than beating around the bush.
- Finally, Smile throughout the interview and relax. Your attitude and body posture tells a lot about you as a person!
Coding questions asked for me:-
- Find the middle element of the node
- Accessing matrix elements
- Find minimum and maximum number in a sorted rotated array
My Experience: My interview was really good except for the coding part. I was able to solve the given problems but unfortunately I couldn’t solve it in a better and efficient way. Hence, make sure that you understand the concept of time complexity in programming and find the best solution/approach to the given problem.
Alas!
Follow all the tips mentioned above and prepare well for the interview. These tips will not only help you to bag this internship but will also help you ace other company interviews as well!
