Interview preparation journey

expand-icon
Journey
I practised for two months entirely on data structures and algorithms (DSA) on coding platforms. I followed a DSA sheet and completed over 400 problems to gain confidence in all types of topics. When the interview call came, I began studying the subjects and preparing for the design rounds as well.
Application story
There was an internal opening in my friend's team, and he referred me for it. Since it was an internal opening, HR called me a few days later and scheduled my interview directly. I did not have to take an online assessment.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
Every round had its pros and cons, but I was mostly able to answer the interviewer's questions, which gave them confidence in selecting me for the role.
Preparation
Duration: 2.5 months
Topics: Data Structures, Algorithms, System Design, OOP, DBMS, OS
Tip
Tip

Tip 1: Practice DSA as much as possible.
Tip 2: Try to complete one development project from scratch and solve the use case problems; this will really help in the design rounds.

This was a craft demo round.

1. System Design

I was given the problem statement around 2 weeks back and I needed to code it end to end. I was given to code book my show and was asked to handle all the edge cases and concurrency in it. This round focused on building an entire project out of scratch and gave a huge boost to my confidence after completing it. In the interview, I needed to explain the code and design of what I implemented, and then there were a few questions asked mainly on deadlocks and concurrent transactions.

This was more of a theoretical interview.

1. OOP-related questions

I was asked multiple OOP-related questions that were of easy to medium difficulty. Additionally, I was asked questions related to Java and Spring Boot, such as the uses of annotations. Then, the interviewer opened my code from the previous round (Book My Show) and asked a few questions related to it.

Design Swiggy.

1. System Design

I was asked to design a food delivery app like Swiggy. First, I discussed the problem statement in detail and then went over the schema with the interviewer, which took up the majority of the time. There were many back-and-forth questions related to the schema, including what fields I used, why I chose them, and whether I could optimize them. There was little time left for coding, so I attempted to implement some basic features before time was called.

Technomanagerial round.

1. HR Questions

There was one technical question that the interviewer asked: “If your application is experiencing a lot of traffic and becomes slow, how would you identify the pain points of the application?” This was a tough question, and whatever I proposed, the interviewer seemed to push me a bit further and asked me to think of more solutions. Aside from that, there were mainly HR-related questions, such as “Why Intuit?”, “What is the most challenging thing you have done?”, and “Where do you see yourself in five years?”
