SDE II
Mid (2-6) · 2025-10-31
Recruiter found my profile on Naukri, mailed me, and scheduled the interviews after my profile got shortlisted. **Round 1 – Coding:** I was asked a coding question related to Merge Intervals: finding a common time interval when all celebrities can meet. This tested my skills in interval merging logic, sorting and boundary handling, and time/space complexity discussion. I completed the solution and discussed optimizations. **Round 2 – LLD Round:** I was tasked with designing an Online Parking Lot System, covering core functionalities like searching available parking slots and booking/reserving a slot. I covered class design, relationships, and flow diagrams, though the interviewer expected a more refined approach for the search functionality. I received an update 2 days later that they decided not to move forward for this role. Overall, it was a short and structured process, mainly testing problem-solving and object-oriented design depth.
