Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1.There was a string given consisting of words separated by white space, we have to return the pair number of in each word where a pair of two neighbor characters is valid if they follow a lexicographical order. 2.Bob wants to purchase N pens and he has prepared a list of shops that sell the pens. Each shop charges a different price per pen and has a limited quantity available in stock. Along with the price of pens each shop charges fixed delivery fees irrespective of how many pens are brought. Help Bob to get N pens as cheaply as possible. (It was a medium DP problem similar to the knapsack problem).
I had two interviews.
The first one the interviewer didn't turn on there camera which I thought was rude.
On the second interview only one of the interviewers turned on the camera.
Both interviews mumbled and didn't have the best microphones.
I was cut off mid sentence when answering questions.
When they asked questions they would look around as if the interview process was a hassle for them.
Generally I found the behaviour to be completely un-professional.
