Nailed the interview, still rejected
Just had the BEST interview ever – super positive and encouraging! But got rejected. Interviewer said I was the most prepared, knew it was a full-time role (unlike others), and loved my answers. One of my questions was even called "the best ever asked!" He showed me around, said I was exactly what they wanted, and would get back by Friday. I was so hyped! Then today, I got the rejection email. No reason given, just "went with someone else." Feels bad when your best isn't enough. Anyone else been there? How'd you cope?

  • Q1. Reserve Binary Search Tree
  • Ans. 

    A Reserve Binary Search Tree (RBST) is a data structure that maintains sorted order and allows efficient insertion, deletion, and search operations.

    • An RBST is a self-balancing binary search tree that ensures logarithmic height for efficient operations.

    • Insertion and deletion operations are performed while maintaining the binary search tree properties.

    • Example: Inserting values 10, 20, 30 in sequence will balance the tree...

    To add two linked lists, iterate through both lists simultaneously and add corresponding nodes, considering carry from previous addition.

    • Create a dummy node to hold the result.

    • Initialize current node to dummy node.

    • Iterate through both lists, adding values and carry from previous addition.

    • Move to next nodes in both lists.

    • Handle cases where one list is longer than the other.

    • Handle final carry if present.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Find shortest path in graph
  • Ans. 

    Use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path in a graph

    • Implement Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path between two nodes in a graph

    • Maintain a priority queue to keep track of the shortest distance to each node

    • Update the shortest distance to each node as you traverse the graph

    • Track the path by storing the previous node for each node visited

  • Answered by AI
Round 2 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Check tree is BST
  • Ans. 

    Check if a binary tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST)

    • Perform an in-order traversal of the tree and check if the resulting array is sorted

    • Keep track of the previous node value during traversal to compare with the current node value

    • Ensure that each node's value is greater than the previous node's value in the in-order traversal

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Check substring palindrome or not
  • Ans. 

    Check if a substring in an array of strings is a palindrome or not.

    • Iterate through each string in the array

  • Q1. Hashmap working.
  • Ans. 

    Hashmap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and allows constant time access to values.

    • Hashmap uses a hash function to map keys to indices in an array.

    • Collisions can occur when multiple keys map to the same index, which can be resolved using techniques like chaining or open addressing.

    • Hashmap operations like insertion, deletion, and lookup have an average time complexity of O(1).

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Problem solving. Minimum absolute difference pairs
  • Ans. 

    Find pairs in an array with the minimum absolute difference between their values.

    • Sort the array to bring closer values next to each other.

    • Iterate through the sorted array and calculate differences between adjacent elements.

    • Keep track of the minimum difference found and the pairs that yield this difference.

    • Example: For array [4, 2, 1, 3], sorted is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Minimum difference is 1 (pairs: (1,2), (2,3), (3,4)).

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - There were two people one hiring manager and one person who asked technical.
This person was so rude.I hardly understood what he was speaking his accent was so bad.I don't understand how a standard company like Applied Materials even hired this person who is lacking at a basic level of Communication.

One should make the person comfortable before the interview to even get the best from the candidate.

First question in discussion was what is your salary expectations and what offer do u already have that's pathetic to ask this question in the beginning itself.

They don't pay well yet they expect the candidate to be perfect.
Worst interview experience I have ever had .
Please be nice to candidates.Have some standards for your hiring process don't be rude and arrogant.if you want to hire a potential candidate be nice to the person at the first place that's when you can check the knowledge and technical capabilites of a person not just simply ask same set of questions.
