Accolite digital Interview experience:

Hello, This is jaya. I want to share my interview experience of Accolite digital (hiring process) It was a diversity hiring challenge. I got this opportunity through She codes. There were five rounds.

1. Technical written interview (Gaming assessment)
2. Coding round (code analyzer)
3. Technical interview -1
4. Technical interview-2
5. H R interview

                                         

1. Technical written Round : 

    This round was conducted on the Eduthrill platform. there were 30 MCQ questions, we had to solve them in 30  minutes. All questions were based on DSA, time and space complexity, OS, DBMS, pseudo-code, apti, and COA. Level was easy to moderate.

2. Coding Round:

       This round also happened on the Eduthrill platform. We can not switch coding language, it was fixed, they gave us a coding platform according to our selected programming language preference while filling the registration form.

  My coding question was related to graphs, it was a moderate-level question, I applied a dynamic programming approach to solve that question. Code has passed in total 7 test cases, two were user test cases and the other 5 were system test cases.

3. Tecnical Interview Round - 1 :

      After clearing both written rounds my first technical interview happened. This round was difficult, The time duration was 1 hour. The interviewer was very friendly when I was stuck in code so she guide me. My interview questions are:

• Tell me something about yourself?
• Briefly, explain your project, and which technology you have used, and why?
• Then she asked a lot of questions related to the project and the security features of the project.
• She gave me two situations to write SQL queries, Both queries were easy related to subqueries and aggregate functions.
• Then she asked some questions on binary search trees, like what is a binary search tree?
• difference between binary tree and binary search tree?
• the implementation part of BST
• Write a program to find the second largest element in the Binary search tree. Firstly I gave a brute force approach, then she asked to optimize it. and then write code.
• Some Questions are based on traversal technics in BST and time and space complexity-related questions. 
• Write a code to detect a loop in a linked list and after it finds the origin of the loop. Again she asked me to optimize the code. She also asked me to explain edge and corner cases in my code.    
• Do you have any questions from me.?

4. Technical Interview Round - 2:  

         The next day second interview round was scheduled. It was also one hour long. I found it easy than the first interview. She asked questions on basic concepts and some easy coding questions.

• Tell me about yourself.
• Briefly explain your projects. what API and database you have used. long discussion on it.     
• What is abstraction? how can we achieve it? Can you explain any real-world example?
• Is abstract class contain only abstract methods? Why justify your answer?
• How will you identify that method is static, nonstatic in the abstract method?
• What is compile time polymorphism and run time polymorphism? explain in brief.
• Collections in Java and instead of collection what we use in C++?
• What is a static keyword? how it works in variable, method, class?
• Can we use static in run time and compile-time polymorphism? 
• Write a code for searching an element, then she asked to write code for binary search also.
• Some questions related to sorting.
• explain the linked list in brief? also, explain its advantage and memory allocation.
• Write SQL query to combine two tables.
• write SQL query to combine three tables.
• then she asked what do you know about the primary key?
• Any questions from me?

5. H R discussion  round :

              H R took 30 minutes to complete this round. She told me, it would be a discussion round, we only want to check your thought process and work ethics through this round, so be comfortable.

• Briefly introduce yourself.
• What is the difference between hard work and smart work? what's better according to you?
• What is the difference between team and group?
• Why did you opt engineering?
• Tell me something about your family background?
• where do you want to see yourself in the next 5 years?
• How did you u utilize your lockdown?
