Just a dsa round. Straight into problem solving. Pretty great. I talked abt my thought process, what i was stuck on, ideas, possible algorithms. When i got stuck, the interviewer helped getting out of it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round dsa. Asked a seemingly NP hard problem? Couldnt figure out a polynomial solution in time, interviewer at the end said it is possible. The question goes like this. Cookies with different calories, C= [8, 7] , You got different buckets with calorie caps, something like B = [7, 3, 5]. Distribute the cookies into buckets, no breaking/sharing. The problem was to solve the boolean question "Is it possible to distribute". The actual distribution is NP hard, not sure abt the boolean question.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sprinklr in Feb 2021
Interview
Waste of time.
The interviewer said that I can solve the question in any language and I was able to answer almost every single question correctly. However, he said that I won't be proceeding to the next round of interview because I used JavaScript which is more for frontend role.
Rude interviewer.
Whilst I shared my implementation verbally, he hurried me to implement it. The interviewer also look around through the duration of interview.
