Round 1: Coding and Problem Solving

This round focused on my coding and algorithmic skills. The interviewer presented two problems:

1. First, I was asked to determine if there exists any contiguous subarray within a given array that sums to zero.
2. Following that, the second question built upon the first, requiring me to find the longest contiguous subarray within the array that sums to zero.

Round 2: Low Level Design

This round delved into my object-oriented design capabilities. I was tasked with designing a single entry-exit, single-floor parking lot, emphasizing OOP principles. A follow-up to this question introduced multi-threading, where I had to explain how parking slots would be assigned to multiple vehicles concurrently, testing my knowledge of concurrent data structures, synchronized keywords, and locks.

Round 3: Managerial Round

The managerial round started with a deep dive into my past projects, discussing their architecture, challenges, and my contributions. After the project discussion, I was presented with two more programming questions:

1. I needed to find the minimum number of jumps required to reach the end of an array, with a specific instruction to solve it using a greedy approach in O(n) time complexity.
2. The second problem involved finding the largest mountain subarray within a given array.

I found it important to maintain extreme calm and composure during this round, as it could become frustrating at times.

Round 4: Directoral Round

I recently completed my directorial round and am currently awaiting feedback. I will update this post once I receive the outcome.
