many questions as you remember; also include correct answers if possible)
1st interview (~50 mintues):
FYP and projects discussion
OOP pillars (what are those, how are those mapped to real usecases)
Interface vs abstract class (controversial question; interface is for functionality extension (without violating S of SOLID), abstract class is for class extension)
Design patterns batao (I explained Singleton, Adapter and Facade one after another) he wanted to ask about Factory so he said Factory ka pata he
Singleton implementation on paper, did naive implementation he asked es main issue kya he, i pointed the multi threading issue to which he asked to fix it, i fixed it using synchronized on getInstance method (so that only one thread can execute it at a time)
What synchronized keyword does in java?
-> IMPLEMENT ON PAPER: You have a string consisting of alphabets and commas, find the comma separated chunk which contains the highest number of unique alphabets (iterate through all chunks and maintain a frequency table to count unique alphabets).

2nd interview (~25 minutes):

Tell me about your one project that you think is most technically advanced?
Told about a CRUD MEAN app, he asked some questions like what you did in services, why mongo instead of sql etc
Told about another project, questions on that too which i dont remember
No other questions

It was a competency based interview that pushed to the limits. It literally started with What is a database and then went on as follows:
- Why database? What makes a database database?
- Persistent, organized? What does it mean for a database? How is it ensured?
- Difference between OLTP and OLAP. Can OLTP become OLAP? What if we remove transactions from OLTP?
- Are data structures databases? How can we make data structures databases? Is persistency enough?
- ACID compliant?
- What if we want to do OLTP and OLAP at the same database with millions of incoming requests?
- Imagine a master slave (read replica of master), what if an agent writes on master but dies before writing to slave? It dies even before writing to message queue.
- NoSQL vs SQL. Why NoSQL? Scalability, speed etc. were not sufficient answers
- What if we search value from a mongodb database? What will be the complexity? How to reduce that complexity?
- Why NoSQL? You could store key value pairs in one table in a relational database.
- Remove referential integrity from SQL and make it scalable and fast. Now why NoSQL?
- How are databases implemented on the backend? How does indexing happen at backend? Why indexing? What are disadvantages of indexing?
- Horizontal scaling vs Vertical scaling
- Write through
- Cache
- Clustered vs Non clustered indexing

2/4/2021 0:54:23 Meddy Backend Engineer 1/20/2021 No 2 1 First interview was with Engineering lead, it was more of a discussion. Then was given a Python backend service take home task in which I had to create a python web service from scratch with tests etc in ~4 days. Then had a 3 hours interview (coding then system design then discussion). Followed
I do not remember the questions but there were three interviews in total, 2 were technical and then the third one was with hiring manager.

First interview was coding related, I was given an easy-medium problem on Hackerrank to solve, had to solve one or two more problem on paper. One of them was something related to building an LRU cache.

Second interview was related to system design, I do not remember a single thing from that.

Starts with brief introduction; moves on to the intricate details about the company, what the team does, what challenges there are, what verticals are present; Search, Recommendation, Business Analytics.
Roughly recalling the interview:
I see you have done multiple projects in your domain, I see naïve Bayes on an approach where you had no labels, how did you go about that, I explain the process of my project in as much detail as there could be. [data manipulation, tfidf, emotion lexicon-> mapping of words to emotions, applying tfi
Then we discuss another project of mine, Gait Recognition; What the custom model was, what the data was, what were the methods to verify it is working as intended.

This portion was very long around 30 minutes, and a lot of assumptions were already made about the knowledge-base of the candidate:

1-)After this, questions like What is BN, Dropout, if we were to say they have something in common, what would it be and how does that relate them together, (BN has a regularization affect, aims to minimize covariate shift i.e the opinion of two neurons closer together form a similar opinion and BN tr
(Furthered detailed how to place a BN(it is computationally intense), what the controversy is around it, what happens at train time, test time with BN/Dropout, similarity was also referenced regarding PCA being factor-analysis and its by-product being dimensionality reduction such being the case of B

2-)What would happen if we initialized all weights with 0 or 1? What if we removed activations? My answer was that if we initialize with ones, it would cause for each layer to act like one neuron [reason was explained as well]
(Furthered detailed how non-linearity works, why is it needed(Perceptron failing on XOR, MLP coming to life), how we utilize non-linearity to reach a linear decision boundary, what is c-1 smoothness, what is c-infinity smoothness) q/a back and forth

3-) if we send a 2K/4K image where originally we had half the size for images, what affect would it have on parameters? I replied None, and the impact comes from the formula which answered his next question regarding whether filter-size will have an impact or not.

5-) Discussion on Encoder-Decoder architecture that was used in FYP for Image-Captioning.

6-) Assume we have an image and no labels, and we want to search similar images, what would you do to retrieve that? Pass image via a pretrained model without the output layer and retrieve embeddings, and compare with features in the DB and apply cosine similarity and retrieve top results.

2/5/2021 21:25:17 Daraaz Data Scientist 9/30/2020 No 2 1

- Tell me about yourself and your work experience (if any)
- Tell me about your FYP (Discussed Machine Learning a little but since that wasn't what I applied for so it was brief but enough to let the interviewer know that you had actively participated in the project)
- Foundations OOP
- Abstract vs Interface
- Encapsulation and Abstraction
- What are linked lists?
- How do you traverse a linked list?
- Time complexity of traversing a linked list?
- Time complexity of traversing a Binary tree?
- Time complexity of searching an element in a balanced Binary Tree?
- Java 8 has made changes to the implementation of Interfaces, what is it and how does it differ from abstract classes now?
- Coding:
2/13/2021 10:19:54 Daraz Java Developer 2/12/2021 No 1 There is a class Student which has name, roll_no, age. Then there is a list of the objects of this class (20 objects). Write a function which accepts this list of objects and returns a map with keys as the student name and the value of each key would be the roll_no of all students who have same age.
The overall interview was focused alot on time and space complexities of any solution I gave to their problem statements.
- Coding:
+ 1. Remove duplicates from an array (as efficient as possible both for time and space)
+ 2. Build a binary tree from an array (either write the code and explain or make the tree and explain the logic behind it)
+3. Difference between two string (as efficient as possible for time complexity)
+ 4. Reverse an integer (write code and dry run)
- Theory:
+ Mutex
(Can't recall other questions)
- Database (Gave queries and asked for the output):
+ 1. How many rows will select * from emp, dept query retrieve? (Cartesian Product)
+ 2. Two tables provided and one table had null values so how many rows will be retrieved? (Refer to the concept where if two tables are compared and one table has null value(s))
+ 3. How to solve the issue when a query returns null?

Hashtable collision
Linked lists types
How Binary tree works

Database:
1 query ..they made a table with empID ,parentID and age....they asked to sum employee ,his parent and grand parents age and show those whose sum is greater than 200...so the catch whas ther wasnt any grand parent column but there was an entry B which was in A's parent id and then in anoth

Programming:
Longest common subsequence ( No n-square solution)
Make stack through array
Implement 2 stacks using array
Infix to postfix

,.............................

2nd interview

They needed optimized solution of every question here

You have an unsorted array .... In any index the user has stored zero...you need to check what was the number that was stored before zero
.. so that solution was to sum before entering 0 and after entering 0 ....difference was the missing number

Find cycle in linked list

Find most common prefix in array of strings

Merge 2 sorted linked lists in sense that they still remain sorted...

Builder,strategy, template,factory design patterns
