CUREFIT

Role: SDE-1

College: UG, Tier 1 College

Interview Date: August 2022 (reported May 2023)

Interview Type: On-Campus, Full-Time

Result: Not Specified (Some selected, some rejected)

Difficulty: Medium - Hard

Rounds: 4 rounds (Coding Round + 3 Technical Rounds, HR skipped)

Topics Asked: Data Structures, Algorithms, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Projects, Dynamic Programming.

Experience:

Cure.fit conducted on-campus interviews for SDE-1. The process included a coding round followed by three technical rounds, as the HR round was skipped.

Coding Round: Conducted on HackerEarth for 1 hour 30 minutes, this round consisted of two medium-to-hard coding questions. Question 1 was "Stone Game VIII" (LeetCode). Question 2 involved an array of binary numbers representing computer connectivity, requiring the minimum number of computers to connect to the internet to ensure all are connected within a given range. Approximately 30 candidates were shortlisted after this round.

Technical Rounds (3 rounds, 45 minutes each): These rounds focused on a combination of resume discussion, project details, and core computer science concepts.

• Common Questions: "Tell me about Yourself," "Tell me about one of your projects," "What do you know about Curefit," and discussion about the resume.
• Specific Topics: Some candidates were asked questions related to Operating Systems (OS) and Computer Networks (CN).
• Other Coding/DSA Questions (asked to friends): Write algorithms for five known sorting algorithms, find common elements in two BSTs, and find the Kth smallest sum made by subset subarrays.

A key tip mentioned was that interviewers were satisfied only with the most optimal approach in terms of both time and space complexity.
