I had an interview in mid-November that consisted of three rounds: one Online Assessment (OA) and two technical interviews. The first round was an online coding test. After clearing it, I moved on to the first technical interview, which was quite challenging but I was able to progress to the next stage. In that interview, the interviewer asked a question similar to a LeetCode Premium problem, though it seemed to be designed by the interviewer. It involved a matrix traversal problem where the goal was to find the minimum number of steps to reach position (n, n) starting from (1, 1). However, there was a catch in the traversal logic: after every four steps, the movement pattern would return to the same position, meaning that in reality the traversal would not reach the final destination as expected. The interviewer also asked a couple of questions related to segment trees. I was not able to provide the optimal solution and instead explained a brute-force approach. Despite that, I somehow managed to move to the second round. In the second interview, the DSA questions were more difficult. One of the problems asked was the **Candy problem**, which is a greedy algorithm question that I had previously practiced from Striver’s sheet. After the coding questions, the interviewer asked several detailed questions about my projects. This is where I believe I struggled. The interviewer went deeper into the project details, and I was not able to explain everything clearly or answer all the follow-up questions confidently. Overall, the interview experience was good and I learned a lot from it. Unfortunately, I was not selected in the end.
