2. Which part would you like to join? Front end- Back end or more broader side?
3. Difference between Array and Linked list?
4. Retrieval in an array and a linked list?
5. Insertion in an array and a linked list?
6. What if the array is full?
7. Big 0 of insertion in an array and a linked list?
8. WAP to check whether the string is a palindrome?
9. Take an example and support your answer.
10. Big 0 of the program you made just now.
11. Difference between binary search tree and Hash Table.
12. What will be the big 0 of searching in binary tree and hash table
13. Worst case scenario in Binary Search tree
14. How do you solve collision problems in a Hash Table.
15. WAP using two queues, queue 1 and queue 2 and insert into the stack. The three functions that are allowed to use are: Size(), Enqueue(), and Dequeue.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
