Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Salesforce nel mese di ott 2019
Colloquio
1. Online Round : It had 3 questions.
2. Three interviews : 2 Technical + 1 Hr. They were of almost 1 hour each.
Tip : Keep your basics clear and have patience.
Overall it was very awesome experience.

Online Round : There were three questions. I was able to solve two of them both using dp. You should have a good knowledge of topics.
They both were based on making a pattern.
Round 1 :
1) What do you prefer ? Team project or alone one ?
2) Do you know about stacks? And queues? Explain
3) A data structure that u can use to access the random or middle element easily.
4) A data structure where i can randomly insert or delete element easily.
5) What was the need of oops ? Then i asked shall i compare it with c?
6) What are classes in oops?
7) There are students, teachers, administrators . Students must for at least 2 courses and same for teachers. Teachers conduct the exam and student have to appear. Student can enroll himself or administrator can do it for him. Write class and there data members and functions.
8) I have a grid : in which alphabets are there. And i m given an array of strings to search for. Give me an algorithm for it. The string can be found in horizonally and vertical ways in both the directions. I clarified if the alphabets can repeat or not as i was thinking some approach for unique ones.
The technical interview was much tougher than I anticipated. I faced a DSA question related to word searches that required optimizing a brute-force approach with a Trie. It was intense, but the practice I’d done on PracHub the week before really helped solidify my understanding of the problem-solving techniques. The behavioral round felt lighter, focusing on teamwork and project experience. After a couple of days, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Word Search II - given an m x n board of characters and a list of words, return all words that can be formed from sequentially adjacent cells; had to optimize the brute-force backtracking with a Trie to pass the time limit
The interview process started with an online coding assessment that included DSA and problem-solving questions. After clearing the test, I had two technical interview rounds focused on data structures, OOPs concepts, DBMS, and project discussion. The final round was with the hiring manager where they asked about teamwork, problem solving, and career goals. The interviewers were professional and the process was smooth overall.
Went through 3 rounds. First round was a technical interview - it was a take home assessment. I didn't pass the test cases but still went through to the next round. The onsite had 1 behavioral, 1 system design, and 1 technical Leetcode style interview. It was in person on a whiteboard.
