I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Adobe in Dec 2009
Interview
A few of the questions that I remember:
1) Implement queue using stack.
2) Allocate 2D array using malloc, so that they can be indexed like regular 2D arrays a[i][j]
3) Reverse the words in a string for e.g. (dog eats the cat => cat the eats dog)
4) Least common ancestor of two nodes in binary search tree and then extend to any binary tree.
5) WAP to convert a number to its hexa-decimal equivalent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Allocate a 2D array in C, so that regular array indexing can be used upon the returned pointer.
Applied through referral. Got direct interview call.
2 rounds :
1 Data Structures [Medium to Hard Question on Hackerrank ]
1 Low Level Design [Design Patterns required]
Brush all the generic questions of all DSA questions thoroughly.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
A situation based question on Hackerrank , which ultimately required BFS graph solution.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adobe (Noida)
Interview
I was reached out by the recruiter for their Noida office.
The interview joined the call late and was in a hurry he was sweating(which doesn't affect me much we are all humans) he didn't spend much time introducing and directly we jumped to the question was around DFS on trees I told him the direct answer and data structure I would use but I think he was either busy in some work or not listing carefully, he asked me to think harder I gave him another approach he seemed disinterested and asked me to code it directly I coded the answer since we were already running short on time I just wanted him to understand by approach I coded it and he kept telling me this wouldn't return anything and asked me to check it I checked it and give him a dry run quickly and then the time was up. He asked if I had any questions he told me I returned the variable name wrong(spelling mistake) which kind of pissed me off since it was a text editor and i was under pressure with no fault of mine.
