Brane Enterprises Interview Experience for Associate Solution Leader (On-Campus) 2023

Online Assessment

The first round was an online assessment consisting of MCQs and 1 coding question. MCQs were easy but time was very less. You have to solve 12 questions in 15 minutes and there were multiple MCQ sections with similar number of questions and timing ratio.

The coding question was: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/check-if-there-exists-a-subsequence-with-sum-k/1

A total of 13 were selected for interview rounds.

1st Interview Round

The interviewer was very friendly. He asked for my intro and then jumped directly on DSA. He just asked 1 DSA question. He shared the link to the question which was on leetcode.

Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/search-a-2d-matrix/

I gave him all the approaches from naive to optimal. This was it for the 1st round for me. But from others, the interviewer asked questions about their projects, OOPS, and DBMS.

9 were selected for the 2nd interview round.

2nd Interview Round

Interviewer started by asking heap sort and implementation of heap. Then he gave me two easy-medium DSA questions:

Question1: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/longest-k-unique-characters-substring0853/1

Question2: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/boundary-traversal-of-binary-tree/1

Then he asked me 2 puzzle questions:

• Flowers in a basked double every minute and initially there was only 1 flower in the basket. If basket gets full in 60 mins, how much time it take to fill the basket exactly half.
• https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/puzzle-10-identical-bottles-pills/

8 were selected for the 3rd interview round, but one got placed in another company so he didn’t gave the interview.

3rd Interview Round

For some it was Technical+HR, but for me it was completely Technical. First he asked me level order and zig zag traversal of binary tree. After this, he asked me 2 system design questions. He gave me situations and asked to design a system for the same.

Result came just the day after the final round interview. All 7 were selected.
