Experience:

This candidate interviewed for an SDE Intern position at Myntra through an on-campus opportunity in November 2023. The process included one coding round followed by two technical rounds.

Coding Round (Mettl platform - 1.5 hours): The test consisted of three coding questions of varying difficulty (easy to medium) and 10–15 multiple-choice questions related to code output and identifying errors.

Technical Round 1 (Frontend Lead - ~50 minutes): This round started with introductions and a discussion about data structures the candidate was proficient in (arrays, graphs, trees).

• Explanation of binary search, its time complexity, and the formula `l + (r — l) / 2`.
• Question 1: Search In Rotated Sorted Array. The candidate explained the approach and provided the code.
• Question 2: Check If Graph Is Bipartite. Only an explanation of the approach using a sample graph was required.
• Question 3: Check If A Tree Is BST or BT. The candidate initially explained the boolean approach.

Technical Round 2 (Tech Lead Backend Team - ~50 minutes): This round began with a review of questions from the first round, followed by questions about the candidate's previous internship experience, specific products worked on, and tech stack. Projects from the resume were discussed, focusing on the solutions they offered.

• Discussion: How would you handle a sudden increase in traffic on a hosted website?
• Problem Statement: Given a function `bool knows(int a, int b)` (returns true if 'a' knows 'b', false otherwise, integers 1 to N), identify the "prime minister" (known by everyone but knows no one). The interviewer provided hints, and the candidate eventually realized it was a dynamic programming problem, suggesting memoization using a `dp[A][B]` matrix.

Overall Experience: The candidate was selected for the SDE Intern position.
