Adfactors PR Creative Director Interview Questions and Answers
Adfactors PR Creative Director Interview Experiences
1 interview found
Anonymous
I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed before Sep 2021. There were 2 interview rounds.
(1 Question)
- Q1. First telephonic round of interview with the HR and then the vertical head. This was during the pandemic.
They asked me prepare a proposal for one of their existing clients with ideas on the basis of which they would judge my skills.
Interview Preparation Tips
Weeks passed by and then finally a month. I ask the same HR lady about my last round of interviews with the CEO. On that, she bluntly says we will let you know but we may proceed forward with a new candidate altogether.
Later, I found that they chose a talent (a female candidate) with lesser experience and obviously for a lesser package too.
6 months later the same useless HR lady calls me again asking if I am still keen on taking up the opportunity. I say Yes. I checked the Linkedin profile of the girl who bagged the job instead of me. She chose to quit the company 15 days back and so for very obvious reasons HR was looking into all the old applications.
A couple of weeks passed by and I ask Bhakti about the opportunity. This time she tells me that the company is in a restructuring mode and hiring won't take place for a while.
Again a year later, another HR lady calls up and asks me if I am open to a new role. When I tell her about my previous experience and the back & forth that took place, she tells it may be the salary part only due to which the previous hiring managers may not have chosen you. This time I don't ask them anything.
A month later, she calls me again and asks me the same question. This time, I politely tell her to Get Lost and thanks but no thanks. On a closing note, I tell her to remove my resume from their database.
Long story short, Adfactors PR's HR team doesn't have any work ethic to inform candidates if they were rejected after the last round of interviews. While ghosting candidates is a norm amongst HR, some companies like Adfactors PR go the extra mile to call the same candidate, again and again, they had once ghosted. This proves how efficient their HR department is. Also, it exposes how ineffective the hiring managers sitting at the top - building a low-cost talent pool and compromising on quality.
I wonder what sort of services they might be offering to their clients. Shameful.
Don't waste your time behind such pathetic companies.

- Q1. Little discussion on my project
- Q2. Given a chessboard and the initial position of horse. If “n” is the number of steps the horse can make then what is probability that it goes out of board ?
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: They did not expect any code in this round. An algo or pseudo code is fine.
1) You are given 2 vessels with capacity M liters and N liters capacity and infinite supply of water. You need to find the minimum number of steps required to get P liters. Any of the below action is considered a step
a) Filling vessel with water
b) Emptying vessel
c) Pouring water from one vessel to another vessel.
2) Given n sets each containing m integers. You need to create MinDiff set by picking exactly 1 element from each set. The difference between the maximum and minimum elements in the MinDiff set should be minimum.
eg: for the sets {30, 20, 10, 40},{ 22, 33, 44, 99},{ 16, 17, 18, 19} min diff set is {19, 20, 22}. Max and min elements in MinDiff set are 22 and 19 and their difference is 3.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 1) you will be given the binary representation of the numbers in the form of 2D array.eg: r1- 00001
r2- 00100
r3- 01010
r4- 00110
r5- 00111 This means the elements are 1, 4, 10 , 6 and 7.
A number “n” is given. Let us say that n can be formed by doing bitwise OR operation on rows of given matrix. What is the minimum number of rows that needs to be deleted from the matrix so that “n” can never be formed by doing the OR of the rows.
If n is 14(01110) then it can be formed by doing r2|r3 or r3|r4. You can prevent n formation either by deleting {r2,r4} or {r3}. But {r3} has least number of elements so it is the required set.2) Find the average of mid 50% of elements in the running stream of integersI have not cleared round-II so no further questions.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The first round was a resume shortlist, which I think was on the basis of programming and coding courses (and projects) taken along with your CGPA. Out of 10 shortlisted people, I knew 4 and all of us were 9 pointers. The rest who I didn't know turned out to be 9 pointers as well! :P
Out of 10 shortlisted people, 3 (including me) were from ECE and the rest were from CS. Even though InMobi was open for Mathematics & Computing, no person from MnC dept. was in the shortlist. (Presumably due to their CGPAs or some other criterion that I'm not in the knowledge of.)
Tips: i) High CGPA is a must (We're talking above 9, at the end of 2nd year for CS/ECE and 3rd year for MnC)
ii)Taking programming and algorithm courses and projects is important, as that must be visible in your resume.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: One special thing about the interviews, you're asked not to wear any formals! That actually helps in taking the tension off of things!
It's simple logic, after that. Increase the lift's speed (taking in mind of the safety), collecting usage data, optimising the lift's floor-stoppage according to that.
As told after the interview, the interviewer is just observing how you think and approach a problem.
One odd thing was not being asked about any coding/algorithm questions even though the profile was for a software engineer.
After this question, I was asked if I had any questions to ask. I simply stated that the work environment and culture affected me as much as the profile I'm applying for. Thus, the drive and motivation of the people who work there is also very important. So I asked what are the companies' values which the employees believe in, too.
Tips: Stay confident, don't let any tension get to your head.
In the future, InMobi may start asking coding questions too in the interviews. or change the selection procedure, which will be communicated in the PPT of InMobi.
Whatever may happen, the first round should show your zeal to solve problems, your creativity in trying different approaches, and applying logic to find the best solution.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: OK! There were a lot of questions asked since the interview was more like a conversation taking place. Like in ANY conversation, keep proper eye contact, smile and be approachable for any questions. Show enthusiasm in your voice and your answers. The interviewer asked me questions about
i)My resume, and all the activities that I'd listed there. (eg: Why did you enlist in this course? Do you like coding?)
ii)Why programming, how does it interest you?
iii)Basic questions about InMobi, like 'What do you know about us after attending the PPT?' and 'Why InMobi'
Since I had done quite a lot of marketing activities, I was also asked about that. Will you do an MBA in the future? What all did you do for marketing? I had a strong background in digital marketing, and we had a little chat about mobile marketing and what's the future of mobile advertising.
Tips: Smile, for god's sake! It's a conversation about you, do all the basic things to improve the conversational experience.
Small things like greeting the interviewer, smiling, proper eye contact, and speaking properly are paramount.
Like in any HR interview, make sure you know yourself and your resume properly, so that you don't phase out in the interview when asked some 'unexpected' question. (since that's when they know thatyou might be lying/exaggerating). Hence introspect enough before sitting the interviews.
General Tips: Make sure you're able to convince yourself and the interviewers for why do you want to work in Inmobi Technolgies.
I've already shared the rest in previous sections! :)
2 people out of 10 were selected for this internship experience, so make sure you prepare well! All the best! :D
Skill Tips: I don't think that this adds on as a skill, but InMobi wants to create a huge impact on the mobile world and the mobile advertising sector.
Your knowledge about this sector in general could help you strike good conversations (at least in the HR round).
Skills: Logic, Problem Solving Abilties, Creativity, Communication Skills

Motivation: I'm a gadget geek from my childhood. The mobile industry amazes me as it's been the biggest change-bringer in the modern world. InMobi as a company wants to create a huge impact in the mobile advertising space and mobile advertising! And seeing their products that they offer in this domain had me thinking that they're doing something unique and awesome!
The work culture of InMobi is just amazing, right from flexible work hours to the epic office they have in Bangalore full of awesome people working towards that one goal! Also, InMobi offers their employees opportunities to shift between various verticals if they want to. All of this (along with a good compensation ;-) ) was enough motivation for me to apply!
Funny Moments: When I was asked whether I was in the third year, I said yes, and then said, usually people think that I'm still in high school!
We had a good laugh on that one! :P
Otherwise also, the entire procedure was relaxed and fun in general.

- Q1. Find Maximum sub sequence sum in an array ?
- Ans.
Find the maximum sum of a contiguous subarray in an integer array using Kadane's algorithm.
Use Kadane's algorithm for an efficient O(n) solution.
Initialize two variables: maxSum and currentSum.
Iterate through the array, updating currentSum and maxSum.
Example: For nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4], maxSum = 6 (subarray [4,-1,2,1]).
If all numbers are negative, return the largest single element.
- Q2. What do you understand by the endianness of the system ? How do you find out the the type of endianness ?
- Ans.
Endianness refers to the byte order of a system. It determines how multi-byte data types are stored in memory.
Little-endian systems store the least significant byte first, while big-endian systems store the most significant byte first.
Endianness can affect the way data is transmitted between systems.
To determine the endianness of a system, you can use the byte order mark (BOM) or write a test program that checks the by...
- Q3. Sort an array which consists of 0's and 1's only
- Ans.
Sort an array of 0s and 1s in place using a two-pointer approach for optimal performance.
Use two pointers: one for 0s and one for 1s.
Initialize left pointer at the start and right pointer at the end.
Iterate through the array, swapping elements as needed.
Example: For [1, 0, 1, 0], after sorting, it becomes [0, 0, 1, 1].
- Q4. A question on applications of minimum spanning tree, apply prim's or kruskal's algorithm
- Q5. What do you understand by Heaps, max and min heaps ?
- Ans.
Heaps are data structures used to efficiently find the maximum or minimum element in a collection.
Max heap: parent nodes are always greater than or equal to child nodes
Min heap: parent nodes are always smaller than or equal to child nodes
Heaps are commonly used in priority queues and sorting algorithms
Heap operations include insert, delete, and extract max/min
Example: An array [3, 8, 2, 5, 1, 4, 6] can be represented a...
- Q6. What do you understand by hashing ? questions on application of hashing
- Q7. Find 3 nos a,b and c in an array where a+b = c
- Ans.
Find 3 numbers in an array where a+b=c.
Loop through the array and check for all possible combinations of a and b.
Use a hash table to store the values of a and b, and check if c is present in the hash table.
Sort the array and use two pointers to find a and b, and then check if their sum equals c.
- Q8. Some puzzles, as the other interviewee said, but not asked to me
