2,268 software development engineer ii interview questions shared by candidates

Interview happened five months ago actually. So, I can remember the questions but can't spell like they did it. Its normal algorithm question but they changed little things. One question was about city with tall buildings with varying height and if its gets flooded, calculate total water storage due to buildings height. Another one was in tree. Print all the leaf tree values alone.

Given a 2-dimensional array in which each position is a 1 or 0, how you find (AKA write a function that returns) every block of contiguous 1s? An analogy is to pretend that zeros are water and 1s are land, so find every island.

I got rejected from first round that was happened through external interviewer. For me its interview vector. Trust me it was so pathetic in person. the person asked me question from document given to him from his firm and whatever I am answering he is referring to docs and if I try to change words or might be deflected from exact answer he just like cannot digest as he dont know anything technical. After that he asked me for live coding so instead giving me question (leetcode) he gave me solution and he then told me we use to refer docs which is only helpful if u understand terms. I was able to solve it but not with best complexity so he refer the solution and it didnt match up (from geeksforgeeks) so he said its not properly solve but its okay, then that time I knew its stupid time wasting I'm not getting pass to this as he will not let me as I was not answering to the docs he was carrying with him
