This interview experience for the Associate Member of Technical Staff role was conducted virtually on-campus in 2022, resulting in 5 students being selected as Full-Time Employees (FTE).
Round 1: Coding & MCQ (90 minutes)
This round consisted of 10 MCQs and 2 easy-level coding questions.
Round 2: Technical Round (45 minutes)
The interviewer was described as very kind and polite, making the candidate comfortable. The round started with an introduction, followed by a short discussion on projects. The candidate stated proficiency in C++, leading to questions about STL (vector, map, set). Specific questions on `map` included accessing elements and erasing values (e.g., deleting students with CGPA < 5 from `map` without extra space, which the candidate solved using two map iterators). The candidate's favorite subject was Data Structures, so they were asked to print the reverse of a linked list in O(n) time without extra space and without modifying the list (solved using recursion). Another basic question was to find if a given value is present in a Binary Search Tree (BST), for which the log(n) solution was accepted. The round concluded with 2 puzzles.
Round 3: Managerial Round (30 minutes)
This round also began with an introduction, followed by a detailed description of all projects. Questions were asked about technologies used in projects, such as ReactJS, fetch API, and REST. Further technical questions included DOM (What is DOM, Virtual DOM, how Virtual DOM works in React) and Triggers in DBMS. The round ended with a puzzle: given 3 buckets (4, 5, and 13 liters), how to fill the 13-liter bucket with 7 liters.
