I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Vedantu (Bengaluru) in Jan 2020
Interview
Talking about the Interview Process for fulltime positions:
> There would be an online test (Hackerearth)
> The online test would be focused on your tech stack skills for Frontend there will be task of building of GitHub profile clone using react and for backend there would be task creating a REST API to serve some data from scratch. If you copy code from outside they will definitely know it when you appear for the interview because you can't master a framework in couple of days if you copied.
> Then after this process you will appear for the interviews where they will test your problem solving skills and ask you DSA question and then ask you to write code regarding that. They don't expect you to come up with an optimal solution but instead want to know your thought process.
> There would be puzzle with the Engineering Manager (refer gfg puzzles).
> Then final is the hr and offer round.
In my case, they interviewed me on my problem solving skills and asked some questions of system design to check if I have the basic understanding of how web works. The DSA questions that they asked can be found in leetcode and were purely depends upon how well you understand a particular datastructure.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Given an array of strings, group anagrams together.
Example:
Input: ["eat", "tea", "tan", "ate", "nat", "bat"],
Output:
[
["ate","eat","tea"],
["nat","tan"],
["bat"]
]
Given two sequences pushed and popped with distinct values, return true if and only if this could have been the result of a sequence of push and pop operations on an initially empty stack.
Example 1:
Input: pushed = [1,2,3,4,5], popped = [4,5,3,2,1]
Output: true
Explanation: We might do the following sequence:
push(1), push(2), push(3), push(4), pop() -> 4,
push(5), pop() -> 5, pop() -> 3, pop() -> 2, pop() -> 1
