Adobe SDE-2(C++) Interview Experience

Recently, my resume was shortlisted for the SDE-2 role at Adobe. The interview process was smooth and well-organized. Within 24 hours I received verdict of prev round and next rounds timings.

There were 4 rounds->

• First two technical
• Third HM(Techno Managerial Round)
• Director Round

Round 1 (Technical Interview 1 hour)

1. Design a Logger class
2. What is a virtual function( VPtr, Vtable )?
3. What is unique_ptr?
4. How do you delete a copy constructor?

   There are two ways:

   1. By making the constructor private
   2. Using the delete keyword
5. Function Overloading (with a code example)
6. Operator Overloading (with a code example)
7. Create static and dynamic objects

Note: You are expected to write code for all the above questions.

Round 2 (Technical Interview 1 hour)

This round covered both conceptual and coding questions:

C++ Basics: Questions on fundamental C++ concepts

• diamond problem and virtual functions

Operating System Concepts: Paging, Mutex, and Semaphore

Coding Problems:

1. Mirror Tree
   https://leetcode.com/problems/invert-binary-tree/description/
2. Given an array, determine if it can be split into two separate arrays such that both have unique frequency distributions.
   I gave brute better both approaches and he wants me to code for better one.
3. KMP Algorithm for String Matching
   I gave brute and better both approaches and he was happy with my code as well.

I told about time and space complexities as well.
