Expedia SWE intern — OA + 2 tech + behavioral; offer
There were four rounds.
Online Assessment
- 3 or 4 (can't recall exact count) coding questions (easy to medium)
- Around 10 MCQs based on ds, algo, programming language and computer science topics (easy to medium).
Those who solved all questions were shortlisted for interview. After coding assessment there were two back to back technical interviews.
First Technical Interview
2 coding questions were asked and 1 puzzle. One of the coding question was staircase problem can't recall other one. Puzzle was hard (for me). I was able to solve both coding questions successfully and we discussed about puzzle around 15 minutes.
Second Technical Interview
This round was more about object oriented design. Interviewer asked 2 design based questions and in the end he asked me code simple implementation based coding question and he also checked the output. For design question we discussed for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Coding questions topics - Binary search, Dynamic Programming and Implementation.
After few days of interview I got mail that I am shortlisted for Behavioural Interview.
Behavioural Interview
This interview was mainly based on projects as it was taken by someone who work with tech. teams. I was asked about 2 projects which I mentioned on CV in detail, also asked about college life experience, how you started/learn coding? etc.
All 3 interviewers were very supportive. Each interview started with short interview from both sides. And in the end of the each interview I was asked if you have any question. After one week of behavioural interview I got whatsapp call from HR that I got selected.
