Asked in companies
You have been given an array/list 'SEQUENCE' denoting the sequence of 'N' integers. Your task is to find the equilibrium indices of the sequence in 'SEQUENCE'.
The equilibrium index of a sequence of integers is defined as the index such that the sum of all the elements at lower indices is equal to the sum of elements at higher indices.
Note:
1. 'SEQUENCE' may contain more than one equilibrium indices.
2. If there are no equilibrium indices, return an empty sequence.
3. Consider the sum of elements lower than the first index and higher than the last index to be 0 (zero).

Video interview round wherein I was asked to wrote code for the problem statements given by the interviewer. The problems were mainly focused on advanced JS concepts like asynchonous progamming, timers, closures, and data structure problems around arrays, sets, linked list etc.

You have been given a singly Linked List in the form of 'L1' -> 'L2' -> 'L3' -> ... 'Ln'. Your task is to rearrange the nodes of this list to make it in the form of 'L1' -> 'Ln' -> 'L2' -> 'Ln-1' and so on. You are not allowed to alter the data of the nodes of the given linked list.
For example:
If the given linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> NULL.
Then rearrange it into 1 -> 5 -> 2 -> 4 -> 3 -> NULL.

The interview started with questions around low level APIs of NodeJS, comparing various options for effective handling of a situation. Then interviewer went deep into databases like types of indexes, how each index works, query planner, etc. This round was more about discussing approaches rather than getting to the most optimized solution.

This round was a mix of technical and managerial round. The interview first started with technical questions, then my projects and previous experience. Then there were behavioral and cultural fit questions. How will you handle situations like client escalation, production bugs when, let's say, project manager is on leave. What will you do when let's say some other engineers have dependency on you and are blocked until you push a certain feature but you need to attend higher priority tasks like production bugs etc.
