This is an experience for an SDE 2 role at Jupiter, with the candidate currently waiting for results.
Round 1: Technical Interview (1 Hour)
The round started with behavioral questions:
- Introduction, including professional background and past projects.
- Discussion of interest in the role and career aspirations.
Following behavioral questions, two coding problems were presented:
- Minimum Days to Form Bouquets: Given an array where `arr[i]` is the day the i-th rose blooms, find the minimum days to form at least `m` bouquets, each with `k` adjacent bloomed roses.
- Treasure Hunt in a Sorted Matrix: Details not fully provided, but involved matrix traversal.
The problems were described as well-structured, testing binary search, matrix traversal, and logical thinking. The candidate solved both problems within the hour but noted a need to refine explaining their thought process concisely under pressure.
