Interview preparation journey

Journey
It was a wonderful experience where I cracked my first corporate interview. As a fresher, I feel fortunate to have received this opportunity to join such a great organization. The initial technical questions and puzzles were quite interesting and engaging. I would highly recommend others to explore opportunities here, as it’s an excellent place for freshers to start their careers and grow.
Application story
It was a college campus placement opportunity where we got the chance to appear for interviews directly through our college. The previous candidates from our college had performed well, which built a strong impression - as a result, 14 of us were onboarded from the same campus.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected for this role because my skills, experience, and adaptability aligned closely with the requirements. I demonstrated a strong understanding of the responsibilities, relevant technical expertise, and the ability to contribute effectively from day one. My proactive approach, problem-solving mindset, and willingness to learn further strengthened my candidacy. I may have been rejected if the employer felt another candidate had more specialized experience, stronger domain knowledge, or a closer cultural fit. Sometimes rejections are not about capability but about timing, team needs, or competition. Both outcomes provide valuable learning and growth opportunities.

A train 120 meters long passes a pole in 10 seconds. What is the speed of the train?
a) 10 m/s
b) 12 m/s
c) 14 m/s
d) 15 m/s

Problem approach

Answer: b) 12 m/s
Explanation: Speed = Distance / Time = 120 / 10 = 12 m/s

2. Puzzle

If the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 48, what is the largest number?
a) 14
b) 16
c) 18
d) 20

Problem approach

Answer: c) 18
Explanation: Let numbers be x, x+2, x+4 → 3x+6=48 → x=14 → largest=18

3. Code Output

Find the output of the given code snippet?

int a = 5;
int b = ++a + a++ + ++a;
Console.WriteLine(b);

Problem approach

Using pre and post increment operator

a) 22
b) 23
c) 25
d) 27

Problem approach

Answer: a) 22
Explanation: Sum of positions: C(3)+A(1)+T(20)=24 → BAT = B(2)+A(1)+T(20)=23 (but if logic uses even decrement by 1 → 22)

5. Puzzle

You are given a string 'str' of length 'N'.


Your task is to reverse the original string word by word.


There can be multiple spaces between two words and there can be leading or trailing spaces but in the output reversed string you need to put a single space between two words, and your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.


Example :
If the given input string is "Welcome to Coding Ninjas", then you should return "Ninjas Coding to Welcome" as the reversed string has only a single space between two words and there is no leading or trailing space.
Problem approach

If the input string is null or empty, return it (or return "" ).
Split the string using “ ” as delimiter but discard empty segments.
Reverse the list/array of remaining words.
Join the reversed words with a single “ ” between them.
