Joveo | SDE1 | Interview Experience

Recruiter find out profile using Instahyre and reached out via call, gave a small assessment to complete within a day.

OA:
1 hour assesment on Hackerearth with 1 question. Problem was related to Huffman encoding/decoding. Solved 7/10 test cases.

Next day, Recruiter called and confirmed to move with next interview round. Scheduled a small 20 mins round for DSA/Coding.

Interview Round 1:
Was asked to design a LRU cache with get/put functionality with O(1) complexity on Google Doc. When cache hit the capacity while putting, least recently used key should be evicted. Get/Put both operation makes a key most recently used.

Leetcode link: https://leetcode.com/problems/lru-cache/

Created Deque kind of structure with removal of node from head while eviction and addition of node to tail on get/put operation. Didn't get much time to review it though, since it was only of 20 min.

After few days, recruiter called and gave positive feedback, then scheduled another round of interview.

Interview Round 2:
Was asked a bunch of technical questions based on skills mentioned in resume.
How Elastic Search Works
Questions on Kafka CDC
Other few things as well, not remember exactly

Then got a coding question on priting elements in spiral fashion in a matrix.

Leetcode link: https://leetcode.com/problems/spiral-matrix/

Was able to solve it, but couldn't able to pass one test case (we have to track m/n and i/j, so might have done something wrong at one place)

No time left for figuring out the bug.


Received a rejection mail after few days.
