Why Us? Tell me about a recent project you worked on. Describe a situation where you had to meet a tight deadline. How do you handle conflicts in a team setting? What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses as a software engineer? Technical: Coding: Implement a basic sorting algorithm (e.g., Merge Sort, Quick Sort). Solve a problem related to data structures (e.g., stacks, queues, trees, graphs). Write code to handle specific scenarios or requirements. System Design: Design a system for a specific use case (e.g., Twitter feed, URL shortener). Discuss scalability, performance, and trade-offs of different design choices. Algorithmic Knowledge: Explain Big O notation and its importance. Discuss different types of algorithms and their applications. Analyze the time and space complexity of algorithms. General Knowledge: Explain how the Google search algorithm works. Discuss common software engineering principles and practices. Demonstrate understanding of various programming languages and technologies.

Initial Question: The interviewer began with a standard "Tell me about yourself" question, followed by "what do you know about...". Context: This was likely a telephonic interview, followed by a face-to-face interview. Other Questions: I also recall being asked basic questions related to Python, including coding an equilateral triangle, object-oriented programming (OOPS), and data structures. Coding Round: While a coding round was mentioned, it didn't actually happen. Other interview questions: Other questions included: "Tell me about a recent project you worked on," "Describe a situation where you had to meet a tight deadline," "How do you handle conflicts in a team setting?" and "What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses as a software engineer?".
