Tech Mahindra Interview Experience for Full Stack Developer (Fresher)

I gave this contest on HackerEarth and there were 2 questions that were of medium-hard difficulty. I was able to solve only 1 question after which within a week I got a call from HR that I was shortlisted for the interview.

Technical Interview: The interview was held on HackerEarth itself. In this round, there were four panelists. They started with an introduction and jump straight to the technical question. Since I have some projects based on Reactjs. One panelist started to ask about

• VIRTUAL DOM
• DIFF between PROPS and STATES
• useState Hook
• useEffect Hook
• DIFF between class and Functional Component?
• HIGHER ORDER FUNCTIONS and WHERE THEY CAN BE USED.
• WHAT IS CONTEXT?
• WHAT IS REDUX?
• and they asked me to write some pseudo-code to demonstrate the use of useContext Hook. I gave all the answers correctly.

After this, another panelist asked me to rate myself on a scale of 1-10 on OOPS. I rate myself 7. So he started asking questions like:

• What is a class?
• What are composition and association?
• What is Encapsulation?
• What is Inheritance?

Then another panelist gave me a question on SQL queries. I don’t remember the question. I was not able to solve the question. Then he asked me about my projects.

Again another panelist asked me some questions related to the backend But I couldn’t even answer a single question.

This was one of the most difficult interviews I ever faced.

VERDICT: REJECTED
