Summary
I interviewed for an internship at IQVIA in April 2022, with the potential for a full-time offer. The interview covered OOPS concepts, SQL fundamentals, and a single easy coding question, with examples including classic problems like Two Sum.
Full Experience
I had my interview experience with IQVIA in April 2022 for an internship role, with the prospect of converting into a full-time employee. The job location was Bengaluru, India. The internship stipend offered was ₹14,200/month, and the full-time CTC ranged from ₹6-8,00,000/year. The interview primarily focused on core computer science fundamentals. I was asked about OOPS concepts like fundamentals and demonstrating inheritance by writing a class. SQL and database topics such as the LIKE operator and various types of Joins were also discussed. For the coding round, only one easy question was asked, and examples provided were problems like checking for array equality, finding the longest palindrome in a string, or the Two Sum problem.
Interview Questions (6)
Explain OOPS fundamentals and demonstrate inheritance by writing a class.
Explain the SQL LIKE operator and provide examples of its usage.
Explain different types of SQL Joins (e.g., INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL) and when to use them.
Write a function to determine if two arrays are equal. Consider edge cases like different lengths or element orders (if applicable, based on typical interpretation).
Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s.
Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.
