PROFILE : Power Programmer

PROGRAM : InfyTQ

PACKAGE : 8 lakhs per annum

VERDICT : Rejected

My interview was completely based on my knowledge of Data Structures.

After giving a brief introduction about myself i was asked :

Write a program for finding the reverse of a string without using any predefined function.

I explained him linear time approaches. And he was satisfied.

Write a program to print alternate nodes in a linked list.

I have not prepared myself for such questions but i didn’t gave up, and gave my 10 crucial minutes to solve this problem.

Write a program to print longest substring which is also a palindrome. 

Somehow i managed to come up with O(n2) solution. But, his facial expressions were telling me that he wants it in linear time. But, i was unable to code the most optimized solution.

Later, he asked me something me about my projects and discussion went for 7-8 minutes. 

But, since i was unable to code the optimized solution, i was rejected. 

Later, i was interviewed for SES profile and finally i cracked it

So, all i want to say is, before going to such important interviews, prepare yourself for data structures.
