Data Structures: Linked list has a limit for questions to be asked. There are few standard
problems you have to go through.
If the interviewer gives you a chance to pick your favorite data structure, go with a Linked list.
HR: HR wants to know if you are a team player: So tell/make up incidents when you led your
team to success.
Never tell HR, you wanna go for higher studies.
Take your time in interviews and let them take the stage and always answer what they want to
hear.
Go through GeeksforGeeks archives before every test and interview, Companies tend to ask the
same questions over and over at colleges, If you are lucky you will find the same question at the
test :>
It might take a week or 2 to complete all the topics I mentioned above. But these are the only
things being asked, I am not good at OS but can answer questions asked. That's all we need for
the time. :>
Mathworks Interview
Amal Raj
Computer science and Engineering
Company: MathWorks
Role: Associate in EDG
CTC: 20L
Total rounds: 4
One group discussion followed by the HR, manager, and Technical, they call random as per the
availability.
Round 2: HR
A healthy discussion about the responsibilities I had taken up in school and college was
discussed. Time management and how I schedule work were discussed. The round lasted for
45 minutes and we had a good one on one conversation.
Round 3: Technical
2 coding questions
1. A DFS problem of traversing a matrix from [0 0] to [m n]. I completely solved the problem
2. A problem that needed stack to solve, I figured out a method, but could not implement
the code. You just need to keep your calm when you miss an answer
Then there were some questions from DBMS and os.
