Adobe SheCodes Interview Experience for Intership (On-Campus) 2023

Adobe SheCodes is an initiative by Adobe to provide internships for women in technology to promote diversity and empower women to take up an active role in technological careers.

It was an on-campus hiring.

Round 1: Online Assessment (4th Sept. 2023)

It included 32 questions, 30 MCQs, and 2 coding questions. Coding questions were based on strings and arrays. I had a strategy to solve MCQs for the first 30 minutes, then I shifted to the coding part and was able to solve both of them within 20 minutes. After submitting the coding questions I shifted to the remaining MCQ questions.

I was able to submit the test 5 minutes before the time limit given to us.

Round 2: Interview Round ( 7th Sept. 2023)

On 6th September, I received an email stating I was shortlisted for the next round and the interview was scheduled for 7th September. I revised the basic implementation of each data structure and frequently asked interview questions about each data structure. Moreover, I revised my resume, theory subjects like DBMS, and some concepts of OOPs.

The interview started with the introduction and then we shifted to the technical part. The interviewer asked me to explain time complexity and asked me to write a code of Binary Search. Basic questions like static-dynamic allocation and the difference between declaration and definition were also asked which I explained through examples.

The interviewer also asked me some practice questions from Leetcode and GeeksforGeeks.

1. Binary Search in a 2D array.
2. A number of subarrays having a sum exactly equal to k.
3. Array conversion in Zig Zag fashion.

I started with the brute force approach and then explained how we can optimize it, but for the 3rd question, I only explained the brute force approach. The interviewer then shifted to the concepts of OOPs and asked me why it was preferred. He then asked me to explain encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism.

In the end, the interviewer asked if I had any questions for him, to which I asked what technologies would the interns be working on during their internship.

In the evening, the results were out and 2 candidates from our college were selected including me.
