Poshmark SDE intern Experience (Applied through the company careers page)
Interview Date: Jan 19, 2024
Online coding test
(2 coding questions and 14 MCQs)
- Dynamic programming question (medium level)
- Tree (medium level)
Mcqs: related to DSA topics, traversals
Next Round Interview date: Jan 25, 2024
Technical round:
(Check interview experiences of a particular role before the interview).
The interviewer introduced himself, his role and the company
Self-Introduction
Then quickly jumped to the Coding questions:
- Array-based (medium)
- String-based (medium) – solved
Asked about the time and space complexity after solving the problem and the interviewer tested my understanding of loops (at a certain iteration what will be the value without running the code.
Projects mentioned in resume and how much time it took to complete.
(Is it a group project or done by yourself)
Asked Theory topics :
- Difference between array and linked list
- SQL topics
- Which one is faster for reversing the array or the linked list?
Learned after the interview :
- The time complexity of sorting the array or list – O(NLogN).
- Every interviewer will not give hints.
- The mistake I made is, that I directly jumped to coding without asking whether the array is sorted or not sorted.
- I haven’t prepared for the interview. I might take a time for this round.
Final result: Do not go to the next round. But a lot of new learnings.
I hope it may be helpful to any of the student in their future technical interviews.
