Leena AI

Role: SDE - 1 (Backend)

College: Delhi Technological University (DTU)

Interview Date: Dec 2023

Interview Type: On-Campus, Full-Time

Result: Selected

Difficulty: Medium (for coding problems)

Rounds: 5 rounds

Topics Asked: Data Structures, Algorithms, System Design, Core Subjects (OOP, DBMS, OS, CN), Project-based questions, HR questions

Experience:

The recruitment process began with an online assessment, open to all eligible students. After clearing this initial round, the candidate advanced to the first interview, which focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). The second round was a mix of basic system design, another DSA question, and some core subject questions, testing both theoretical knowledge and practical problem-solving abilities. The final round was with the CTO and was entirely project-based. An HR round was also part of the process, involving basic HR questions like "What do you know about Leena AI?" and "Why are you interested in this role?". The candidate highlighted that strong technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and experience with the MERN stack, Python, and FastAPI were crucial. Researching the company's mission, projects, and challenges was also a key tip.

Specific coding questions were not explicitly listed for this experience, but "Path with Maximum Gold" was mentioned as a moderate coding problem asked in Leena AI interviews.

Tips included staying curious, working on exciting projects, taking on challenges, being consistent in solving DSA questions (aim for 500 total), solving questions before looking at solutions, and building many projects for development.
