Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Weighted random selection,
ou are given a list of recipes. Each recipe may require some ingredients, and some of those ingredients might themselves be other recipes.
You are also given a list of supplies that you already have.
A recipe can be prepared only if all its required ingredients are available — either from the initial supplies or by preparing other recipes.
Your task is to return all the recipes that can eventually be prepared.
Example:
Recipes = ["bread", "sandwich", "burger"]
Ingredients = [
["flour", "water"], // bread
["bread", "ham"], // sandwich
["sandwich", "bread"] // burger
]
Supplies = ["flour", "water", "ham"]
Output:
["bread", "sandwich", "burger"
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Drivetrain in Oct 2025
Interview
I had two tech rounds for a software engineering role, both focused on DSA. The first round went well. In the second, the interviewer had a lot of background noise, which made communication tough. Even though my approach was correct and acknowledged, he mentioned I wasn’t meeting the bar and ended the call about 20 minutes early.
I respect that interviews are meant to assess skill, but ending the round abruptly on one non-trivial question without exploring further felt unfair. A bit more patience and structure would make the process feel a lot more professional and candidate-friendly.
The interviewer asked me one dsa question which was very similar to stack implementation with some variation where I had keep track of the difference between minimum and maximum number of the numbers present in the stack at any point of time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Drivetrain (Mumbai) in Dec 2025
Interview
HR approached me on the same days after their Co founder added me on Linkedin. Had a positive experience with the HR although they did not have an official JD or job opening listed on their site.
Although the interviewer was polite, my interview delved too much into what I wanted to be in my next role and not what their expectations are. For the first 25 minutes it was more general stuff like how do I manage projects, my favourite projects, workflows, etc.
When I asked what would be the qualitative and quantitative success metrics for the role, I got a super vague response and felt like I wasted my time.
