      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jun 2018

      Interview

      I applied through my school's co-operative education portal. I had an hour technical interview which included algorithmic, conceptual, and design questions. I had a good experience as my interviewer liked to work back and forth with me to explore a question. For example, after I explained a solution, I would offer my opinion on how to optimize it if we relax some constraint, or introduce an error bound. The exchange throughout the interview was really fun, and I exited the interview more relaxed than I entered.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      Implement on the whiteboard a solution to a basic combinatorics-related algorithm question.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Design on the whiteboard a data structure with the following requirements and explore various implementation's tradeoffs between space and speed. 1. Return true or false whether a given string exists in the dictionary. 2. Return the lexicographically first string within the dictionary of length N.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Explain how you would implement "Word Count".
      Answer question

      Question 4

      Explain various concepts related to operating systems.
      Answer question

      Question 5

      After conversing with my interviewer, since I knew what a Bloom filter was and other sketch data structures, I was asked to explain how a Bloom filter works.
