involved multiple rounds, testing technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit. Below is a
detailed account of my experience:

Online Assessment Rounds

• Duration: 2 hours

• Format: 3 coding questions and 15 multiple-choice questions (MCQs).

• Details:

1. Coding Question 1: A graph problem based on finding the minimum distance from 1
to the nearest 0 (similar to a problem on LeetCode).

2. Coding Question 2: A number dynamic programming (DP) problem.

3. Coding Question 3: Another problem based on dynamic programming (DP).

Second Online Assessment

• Duration: 1 hour

• Format: 2 coding questions and 14 multiple-choice questions (MCQs).

• Details:

1. Coding Question 1: A graph-based problem.

2. Coding Question 2: A problem to find the number occurring in an array more than
n/3 times (similar to a problem on LeetCode).

Interview Rounds

Technical Interview

This round was a mix of technical and project-related discussions. Key highlights:

• Introduction: The interviewer started by asking me to introduce myself.

• Project Discussion: There was a detailed discussion about my projects, focusing on their
implementation and challenges.

• Coding Question:

o Problem: Solve the Josephus Sword problem (available on GeeksforGeeks).

o Approach: I was asked to explain the brute-force solution and then optimize it
further.
• SQL Queries: The interviewer asked 5 SQL queries to test my knowledge of database
management.

• Tech Stack Questions: There were questions about the MERN stack and specific MongoDB
queries.

HR / Cultural Fit Round

This was a conversational round to assess my alignment with Darwinbox’s values. Key highlights:

• Questions About the Process: The interviewer asked about my experience with Darwinbox’s
recruitment process.

• Interest in the Company: I was asked why I wanted to join Darwinbox and what I knew
about the company.

• Situational Question: If another company offered a higher package, what would my decision
be?

• General Questions: My strengths, weaknesses, and general career aspirations were


discussed.

Key Takeaways

• Be Honest: It’s important to speak truthfully about your skills, as the interviewer will probe
deeply into topics.

• Confidence Matters: Even if you don’t know the answer to a question, stay composed and
confident.

• Preparation Focus: Emphasize core subjects, data structures, algorithms, and system design
for SDE roles.

• Communication Skills: Effective communication is an underrated but essential skill that can
make a significant difference.

Overall, the process was challenging but rewarding. The interviewers were kind and professional,
making it a great learning experience for me, especially as it was my first interview.
