First three interviews are generic irrespective of which team you are being interviewed for. Round 1: Person 1: Online Coding round on code-pad. two problems to be solved in 1 hour.one medium and one tough.(but frankly to me both seemed of similar difficulty) > Problem 1: from a lit of names group each anagram into subsets and return the queue of subsets. > Problem 2: find frequency of each string(don’t remember the exact problem). Round 2: Person 2: > E-commerce table with three categories. Having category_id, sky, description. How would you model data? > Merge two sorted list without using extra memory. > What is the contract between Equals() and hashCode() in Java. > How is CSV sorting in excel done using thread etc? Round 3: Person 3: > Stock transaction of 500 companies are stored in 500 separate flat files with some having lots of volume of transaction some very less. How would you merge them? Consider optimum time to merge. Can you optimise such that you don’t need to keep 500 files open while merging? > Difference between mapper and reducer. > Join two tables when one is very big and one is tiny on Hadoop. What optimisations will you do. ==================== After the first three interviews next set of interviewers with by 2 on 1 interview. Number of Interviews will be between 3-5 based on how it goes. All interviewers will post mortem your resume end to end. So be very careful of what you put there. The interviews will be very much role focused. Study Each and every topic of the JD in details. They always try to understand if you have similar experience as needed in that JD . For me it was data architect role. So deep dive on data modelling tools, Hadoop architecture was expected. ================= Round 4: Person 4:(middle aged guy, this guy was keen on lots of definitions and theoretical concepts of language internals) > Difference between C# and Java. > Java Memory management. > How to prevent Java memory leak. serialisation types. > What is parent class for all class in Java? > Java thread management > JVM architecture. > How does an Jar run without main. What happens when you click a jar ? > Beans > Why are getters setters required ? > Why do we need Encapsulation ? > Collections > Array vs linked list. pros and cons. examples. > AOP > Print output of the following: ClassA{ void display(){ system.out.println(“I am in Class A”); } } ClassB extends ClassA{ void display(){ system.out.println(“I am in Class B”); } } ClassA a = new ClassA() a.display(); ClassB b = new ClassB() b.display(); ClassB b = new ClassA() b.display(); ClassA a = new ClassB() a.display(); > Check if a expression has balances braces > Instantiate objects without using new operator.(answer he was looking for was reflection) Person 5:(young guy) > Delete a node from binary search tree. =================================== Round 5: Person 6:(old guy) > Get the 5th highest record what DS will you use. AVL vs Map time Analysis > code to read the value and process some data the processes data are to be stored in queue such that the top/end of the queue is easily available to be read by other threads(eg in Java append to list from a stream and let another thread read it simultaneously.) Person 7:(young lady) > Describe architecture of a hadoop. > How would you query values of same date for three consecutive years. =================================== Round 6: Experiences questions Person 8:(old guy) (This guy was in a ridiculing mood right from the outset indicating negative feedback even before starting the interview) > What are the differences between Columnar db vs OLAP vs datamart? > What are the types of Microsoft data cubes? Uses of each of them? > What are the names of different data modelling techniques? Person 9:(middle aged guy) (He also extensively focused on your experience) > Join two tables, order by a group and print the third highest in each group. If no row exists in >that group just print name of group. I didn’t make past round 6 or else two more rounds might be conducted. Each round is of 1 hour.
