Deshaw

I applied for a Testing Automation / QA role at DeShaw through Naukri. The interview started with a discussion about my background and role fit, as the interviewer expressed concerns about my development-focused experience. I was then asked a LeetCode Hard problem, followed by a debugging scenario and a logic puzzle. Despite not solving the coding problem, the recruiter provided feedback indicating I wasn't suitable for the QA role.

I recently participated in the Deshaw SMTS Hackerrank screening round, which featured two challenging Data Structures and Algorithms questions. Although I attempted solutions for both, my approach for the second question passed very few test cases, and I struggled to finalize a correct strategy for the first.

I recently went through an off-campus CodePair round interview with D.E.Shaw, which was conducted on Hackerrank and involved a variety of coding, technical concepts, and a puzzle.
