Summary
I interviewed for the SDE-1 role at Zupee in Gurugram and received an offer. The process involved three rounds covering DSA, Kadane's algorithm, DBMS, projects, and LRU cache implementation.
Full Experience
I applied for the SDE-1 position at Zupee through LinkedIn. My background includes education from a Tier-1 college and a 2-month summer internship at a product-based company. The interview process consisted of three rounds.
In Round 1, I was given two medium-level Data Structures and Algorithms problems. The first problem was 'Search in Rotated Sorted Array' and the second was 'Partition Equal Subset Sum'.
Round 2 involved another medium coding problem based on Kadane's Algorithm. Additionally, there were questions on Database Management Systems, specifically focusing on Joins and Indexing.
Round 3 was a brief discussion about my projects and I was asked to implement an LRU cache.
Ultimately, I received a 'Select' verdict for the role with a CTC of 21L (16L fixed, 1L variable, plus 4L ESOPs).
Interview Questions (6)
I solved a medium-level coding problem that required the application of Kadane's Algorithm to find the maximum sum subarray.
I had a discussion about Database Management Systems, specifically covering concepts like various types of Joins and different indexing strategies.
I engaged in a detailed discussion about the projects I had listed on my resume, explaining their architecture, my contributions, and the technologies used.
I was tasked with implementing an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache from scratch, covering its design and underlying data structures.
