Full Experience
During my on-campus recruitment drive for Hike in December 2021, I went through a comprehensive selection process for the SDE Intern+FTE role. The process began with an online coding test that spanned 1.5 hours and comprised 6 questions: 3 easy, 2 medium, and 1 hard. This was followed by three technical interview rounds, all conducted on the same day.
In Round 1, which lasted 45 minutes, I was asked to provide a detailed introduction about my projects. Following that, I had to discuss all possible solutions and provide code for the 'Minimum insertion or deletion to make string palindrome' problem.
Round 2, also 45 minutes, focused on problem-solving and system design. I explained the N-Queens problem in detail and performed a dry run. Subsequently, I was tasked with designing a Snake and Ladder game, which involved outlining detailed classes and functions. Finally, I addressed the 'Maximum length contiguous subarray with sum k' problem.
The third technical round, shorter at 30 minutes, covered my internship experience and involved solving some tricky output-based questions.
The HR evaluation was integrated throughout the different rounds. At the end, I was presented with an offer, which I accepted.
