Eatclubs (Box8) Interview (Oncampus) || Intern + FTE
Summary
I interviewed with Box8 (Eatclubs) for an SDE Intern/FTE role on campus, involving an online assessment and two rounds of technical DSA questions, including 'Group Anagrams' and 'Palindrome Number'. I was ultimately rejected.
Full Experience
Recently Box8 visited my campus for SDE role and I had the opportunity to crack the round:-
1) Online Assessment :- Link
2) There were two panelist in the first round both were asking basic dsa questions.First they started with their intro and then asked to give my intro. After that they pasted one DSA medium question which is group Anagram Link then give him the approach of the solution. My approach was O(n*n) then they asked asked me to optimize it. I thought for few minutes then give him the approach then pseudo code of it.
3) After that they pasted 2nd DSA questions which was palindrome Number -> Link
I solve it using digit comparision by storing it into other variable so they asked to remove any extra space. Means not extra space you can use for storing they want only mathematics to solve that problem at that time solution is not clicked on my mind.
Result - !! Rejected
Interview Questions (2)
Group Anagrams
The interviewer presented the 'Group Anagrams' problem, which they described as a DSA medium question. I initially proposed an O(n*n) approach and was then asked to optimize it. I successfully provided an optimized approach and its pseudo code.
Palindrome Number (No Extra Space)
The interviewer presented the 'Palindrome Number' problem. I solved it using digit comparison with an extra variable. I was then challenged to solve it using only mathematics without any extra space, which I struggled with at the time.
