GLOBALLOGIC PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 9 AUG 2008 - ALLAHABAD

Hi Friends

First there was a online written test after the formal presentation of the company.

The Written Test consists of the aptitude questions and technical questions. We have to solve 50 questions in 60 minutes time.

Questions was from aptitude, data structures, and C++. Some questions based on flowcharts was also there. Written test was very rigorous and you will definitely run out of time. So selection of questions are very important.

Don't waste time on a single questions. Just be cool and don't lose your mental patience as time will be very very short.
There was no negative marking. So feel free to take the calculative risk.

22 students was selected for interview after the technical test'
There was 1 tech and 1 hr interview.
First my HR interview was taken:

HR: Tell me about yourself ???
Me: It was memorized.
HR: Tell me the difference between amethi campus and main campus ???
ME: Just put the positive and some negative points of amethi campus over main campus.
HR: Then he talks about my family, hobbies, projects, weakness??

At last he asked me that if I have any questions.

I asked what you want to judge from written test ?? How fast a student can solve the exam paper or mental calmness of a candidate. As in this written any candidate can loose his mental calmness ???

He explained me a lot how they evaluates. They are looking for the fast candidates. They also said that there was no negative marking so they want students to take the calculative risks in the exam.

Then there was Technical Round

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Me : Tell about the areas and qualities which somehow relates to your technical skills. Present your strong area to the interviewer. As I told that i m good in mathematical reasoning and logics So I am quite interested in data structures and algorithms.
Interview : Ask me to implement two stacks using a single array???
Me: Simple start insertion for stack1 from beginning in array and for other stack from end of array.
Interview: Then give a C code on pointers and ask me for error if any ???
int *p;
*p=20;
Interviewer: Asks me about the complexity of fibnaucci using recursion ???

Told them about that

Then he asks me that given a configuration of the tetris game, write a algorithm to figure out the individual components.

Me: First statement comes that sir this is very very difficult and code will go into couple of hundreds lines.
He said yes but it will put no negative effect on u only will provide bonus to u.
I told them my approach based on recognizing patterns of individual components.

Finally result was out in the evening and I was among the selected candidates.
