The candidate participated in Meesho's recruitment drive on campus. The process aimed to evaluate technical proficiency, problem-solving skills, and communication.
Round 1: Coding and MCQs
This round consisted of 3 coding questions and 20 MCQs. The MCQs covered Operating Systems, Computer Networks, C/C++ output questions, and Java, with 5 questions from each part, rated easy to medium. Two of the three coding questions were easy, and one was medium. Specific coding questions included: "Given 2 arrays, find a list of values which are available in both the array in ascending order" (solvable using hashing) and "Given 2 strings, determine the minimum number of characters in either string that must be modified to make the two strings anagram. If it is not possible then return -1." Candidates who solved all 3 coding questions and scored well in MCQs were shortlisted.
Round 2: Technical Interview
This was a 1.5-hour technical interview. The interviewer asked for an introduction, followed by a discussion of all projects listed on the resume. Two coding questions were asked, conducted on HackerRank CodePair, requiring solutions to pass all test cases. One of the questions was "Water the Plants" (from GeeksforGeeks), which was considered tough.
Round 3: Technical Interview 2
This technical interview lasted 1 hour. The interviewer again asked for an introduction and a discussion about projects, specifically the candidate's role in a team project. The candidate was asked to list all database tables used in the project and write some related SQL queries. Following this, one coding question solvable using DFS was presented. Networking concepts such as ARP, DNS, and the OSI model were also discussed.
Round 4: HR Round
Details for the HR round were not explicitly provided in the snippet, but it's mentioned as the final stage of the process.
