LEAP questionnaire Cohort 7 - Oct 2017

This article is about questions asked to LEAP candidates in their LEAP cohort-7 interview.

Candidate 1: 
First Interview, he asked one coding( given point and rectangle my function should return if the point lies inside the rectangle) and one design question (since i had Object Oriented Design in my resume)

Second Interview was with a manager, he asked me data science question and one coding question, it was simple program to find duplicates in a String.

Candidate 2: 
1.In first interview, asked to implement calculator class, then once I wrote method for addition, follow up was to write it with array input and then write it in recursion.

Behavioral questions, all questions asked were what projects have you done, how and what part you worked on team projects.

2. Second, was completely on choose from three areas: Collaborate, tech, & problem solving and start explaining which one is more related to you and why and then dive deep into it.

asked to draw website architecture on white board, Like when you build website how it stored data?, how it connected to database?, etc.

Candidate 3: 
1. Project based question, like how you implemented it in project
2. insert a node in circular linked list.

Candidate 4:
1. project based questions diving deep on it, since project on windows iOT is on resume.
2. write code to reverse string, how many ways to reverse it., again questions on windows apps since its in resume.

Candidate 5: 
1. explain current project, and technologies used at each level, when I want to start new website what framework or technology you will use.
Design your project website, and how to contributed in it.

2. Oops concept: instance creating?, how and why we need it?
Given few strings, how would you parse them and how will you store it in class.

Candidate 6:

1. Reversing a string

2. String is palindrome or not3. Design chessboard w4. Foobar sum ( if number is divisible by 3 display "foo" , divisible by 5 "bar" and div by both 3 and "foobar"5. Maximum product of 3 numbers in array (O(n))

Candidate 7:

- explain each sorting algorithm

-string question and different variations of it

1st one was behavioral. and asked about the project that we are currently working on. 2nd- Given set of strings, how would you parse them and store it in a class.

It's a follow up question after the OOPS concepts. I said about instance and class. Next, about how exactly you store data in the class and that data being a chunk of strings.

Cadidate 8:

1) first one asked some detailed questions in the resume. One behavioral question. Two coding problems ( strings & arrays ) he was very focused in the code I wrote and asked about every single detail in it. Then one object oriented design question.

2) second one chose a project from my resume, asked me to draw on the board & explain how it was designed & implemented. He also asked some details about the courses written in the resume. Then coding problem about binary trees. Then one or two behavioral questions ( sorry I don’t remember the exact number )

Conclusion: from my interviews and the other feedbacks I heard, coding problems are not hard if you practiced well. The hard parts are: questions related to resumes, object oriented design questions, and behavioral questions.

Most of candidates have been asked question based on their previous work experience.
