Interview Experience at Peak AI (Jaipur)

My First Interview Experience at Peak AI

This was my first interview experience, and I wanted to share it with everyone. I applied for the Graduate Software Engineer Program at Peak AI for the role of Software Engineer- FullStack developer. After my resume was shortlisted, I received a test link for the first round.

Round 1: Online Assessment

This round consisted of two Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions and 20 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). The MCQs covered aptitude, while the DSA problems were of medium difficulty. One DSA question involved dynamic programming, and the other was related to the sliding window technique.

Round 2: Technical Interview (1 hour)

The interviewer was very kind throughout this process. We started by discussing my projects, after which I was given three DSA questions: one on dynamic programming, one on two-pointers, and one on linked lists. I explained my approach to each problem, and the interviewer seemed satisfied. Following that, I was asked to write two SQL queries and discuss some basic SQL concepts. Finally, I was tasked with designing a parking lot system for cars using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. I successfully cleared this round and received a call from HR for the next interview.

Round 3: Technical Interview

This was another technical interview. My interviewer began by delving into my projects, then shifted to database concepts. She asked me to detail all the session endpoints I used in my project and how I stored data on the server. Afterward, I was asked to design the system for Stack Overflow. She also presented a graph question for me to solve and inquired about concepts related to React.

Unfortunately, I was rejected after this interview round, but it was a valuable learning experience for me. I encourage everyone to keep learning and upskill themselves!
