Summary

I successfully navigated a HackerRank test and a coderpad screening round for an Associate role at Goldman Sachs. Despite performing well on several DSA questions, I was ultimately rejected after the SuperDay.

Full Experience

Gave hackerrank test around 3 month ago. After a week, got a call for coderpad screening round, after multiple rescheduling it got scheduled on 18th june. 1st question for coderpad round was First Non Repeating character in String 42. Trapping Rain Water (the must do problem for GS) solved both of them correctly along with edge cases. On the same day got call from HR that coderpad round feedback was positive so they scheduled superday for 25th june.

Round1 2 DSA questions 1. Design a DS where insertion , deletion and getValue(Index) all should be in O(1) 2.Binary search on Answers Ship in D days

Answered 2 with optimal solutions

Round 2 2 DSA questions 1.Given a string representing a mathematical expression (like "3 + 2 * (1 + 1)"), evaluate the result by following the correct BODMAS precedence rules (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction). 2. Make a Number Minimum by removing K digits

Unable to solve 2nd question

verdict :Rejected

Interview Questions (6)

Q1
First Non-Repeating Character in a String
Data Structures & AlgorithmsEasy

Find the first non-repeating character in a given string.

Q2
Trapping Rain Water
Data Structures & AlgorithmsHard

Given n non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, compute how much water it can trap after raining.

Q3
Design Data Structure with O(1) Insert, Delete, and GetValue(Index)
Data Structures & AlgorithmsHard

Design a data structure where insertion, deletion, and getValue(Index) operations all should be in O(1) time complexity.

Q4
Capacity To Ship Packages Within D Days
Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given a set of packages and a number of days D, find the least weight capacity of the ship that will result in all the packages being shipped within D days. This typically involves binary search on the answer space.

Q5
Evaluate Mathematical Expression with BODMAS
Data Structures & AlgorithmsHard

Given a string representing a mathematical expression (like "3 + 2 * (1 + 1)"), evaluate the result by following the correct BODMAS precedence rules (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction).

Q6
Remove K Digits to Make Number Minimum
Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given a non-negative integer represented as a string, remove k digits from the number so that the new number is the smallest possible.
