Questions Asked

Given a Linked list, the task is to print a singly linked list in a spiral fashion, starting from the mid and rotating clockwise. If the linked list has even nodes, then you have to choose the left mid.

Linked List

Given the root of a binary tree. Your task is to return the left view of the binary tree. The left view of a binary tree is the set of nodes visible when the tree is viewed from the left side.

My interview experience at Versa Network

Versa Network
Software Engineer

✨ Excited to Share! Selected by Versa Network ✨ I’m happy to announce that I have been selected after successfully clearing my interview at Versa Network. # The Process The interview process covered a wide range of topics and tested both fundamentals and practical understanding. The key areas included: ## Resume & Project Discussion – Walkthrough of my work, responsibilities, and the project I developed. 🔹 OOPS Concepts – Four pillars of OOPS, virtual functions, and memory layout. 🔹 DBMS – Core concepts and real-world application. 🔹 DSA – Two coding questions (one from LeetCode arrays and one based on linked list basics and implementation). 🔹 Computer Networks – Difference between TCP and HTTP, and related networking principles. # Result I’m grateful for this opportunity and excited for the journey ahead. Looking forward to contributing, learning, and growing with the team! 🚀

My Interview Experience at Arista Networks

Arista Networks
SDE Intern

Excited to Share! Selected by Arista Networks for an internship, and I'm happy to share my experience. # Overall process I had got the opportunity to appear for the Software Engineer Intern recruitment process at Arista Networks, which consisted of three rounds and ranged from medium to hard in difficulty. The first round was an online assessment with around 10–15 multiple-choice questions focused on basic C/C++ syntax, debugging, and fundamental Object-Oriented Programming concepts. After clearing the OA, I proceeded to the second round, which was a technical interview covering data structures and C++ fundamentals. I was asked questions related to Linked Lists, OOPs, trees (including some hard-level problems), and pointer-based code analysis. The final round was another technical interview where the focus shifted to more advanced data structures and problem-solving. I received questions based on stacks, graph algorithms, and was also asked to design a phonebook system using a Trie. # My thoughts Overall, the experience was challenging yet insightful, and it provided a good opportunity to test my understanding of core computer science concepts.

My SDE Interview Experience at Hummingwave Technologies

Humming Wave
Software Engineer

Interviewing with Hummingwave Technologies for a Software Development Engineer (SDE) position was one of the most enriching technical discussions I’ve had so far. The interview lasted around 50–55 minutes and covered a spectrum of topics — from fundamental OOP concepts and database management to a deep, detailed discussion around the projects on my resume. ### I’m happy to share that the experience went well, and I ultimately secured the offer. Here’s a detailed walkthrough of the interview. # The Process The interview began with a short personal introduction from both sides. I was asked to walk the interviewer through my background, technical interests, and key projects. This quickly set the tone for a conversation that was both technical and exploratory. ## 1. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) A significant portion of the early interview revolved around OOP. The interviewer focused more on conceptual clarity and practical usage than theoretical memorization. mutiple question were asked based on class, Object,and overal OOPs concept. ## 2. Database Management Systems (DBMS) Though not the primary focus, the interview did assess my understanding of database fundamentals and real-world data design. # Deep Dive into My Projects This was the longest and most detailed segment of the interview. The interviewer wanted to understand the depth of my involvement, my problem-solving approach, and the reasoning behind my technical decisions. ## A. Plant Recognition System ###Questions What dataset did you use and how did you prepare it? Why did you choose your specific model architecture? How did you handle class imbalance? If accuracy drops under low-light conditions, how would you improve robustness? How would you reduce inference time without significantly affecting accuracy? ## B. Movie Recommendation System Did you use collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, or a hybrid approach? What features did you extract? How did you compute similarity between users or movies? How do you measure the performance of a recommender system? How would you solve the cold-start problem for new users? How would you scale the recommendation pipeline as data volume grows? ## C. Camouflaged Object Detection This project attracted special attention due to its complexity and uniqueness. ### Questions : What makes camouflaged object detection a challenging task? Which model architecture did you use? How did you evaluate model performance? If objects blend almost perfectly with their surroundings, how can the model be improved? How would you adapt your model for real-time video detection? ### I think they were evaluating my understanding of model optimization, domain challenges, data processing, and deployment considerations. This is the end of questions. The interview concluded with a short discussion about: My preferred tech stack How I usually debug issues My willingness to learn new tools and adapt They also allowed me to ask questions about the role, team structure, and company culture. # Final Result After some days, I received the confirmation that I had been selected for the SDE role at Hummingwave Technologies. The interview was well-structured, conversational, and intellectually engaging. ### What stood out most was the company’s emphasis on understanding thought process over memorized answers. This experience circulated around the importance of strong fundamentals combined with practical, hands-on project knowledge.

Note that the interview was for SDE intern role when I was in my 3rd year.

Technical Test:

  1. There were some aptitude questions and basic CS questions
  2. There were coding questions. Everyone had got different questions.

My questions were -

• Add a node to end of the linked list.

• Print fibonacci sequence. ( the question was more complicated and they had given it in terms of binary tree).

4 students were shortlisted for the interview round

Technical Interview round

  • He started to ask OS questions (about threads). I said I do not know since the course is not completed.
  • He asked questions about C. what are static variables? Where are they stored? Where are global variables stored?

Manegarial interview round

  • discussed about the projects on my resume.
  • Asked to design a cache.
