Salesforce | MTS | | Oct [Offer]

I recently completed the interview process for a MTS position at Salesforce in . The process began in March , but was interrupted due to the lockdown. I received a call from the recruiter in October and the interview process restarted.

Here is a breakdown of the interview rounds:

Round 1: Online Assessment (HackerRank ALOHA-5) [90 mins]

1. Contiguous Subarray Sum
2. Maximum sub-matrix sum in a given matrix (I was able to solve the first question quickly, which gave me enough time to work on the second one)

Round 2: (60 min)

1. Maximum path sum in a triangular matrix from top to bottom (Only two directions allowed - down and down-right)
2. Split BST with given value k

Round 3: (90 min)

1. Top K repeated words in a given paragraph (with punctuations and delimiter)
2. LLD of a given scenario on a cricket match (Observer design pattern) Asked to write down running code along with classes. (Suppose I am playing cricket and when I hit a six, my friend will cheer, my dog will bark, my car will blow horn etc.)
3. DB Design related to employee and multiple address with some scenario based question

Round 4: Managerial (45 mins) Mostly related to past experience and previous projects and some behavioral questions.

The interview experience was very positive as the interviewers were polite. I received an offer on October 21st.

I utilized the lockdown period to practice problems on LeetCode, solving mostly easy and medium problems from different topics. I tried to solve the Daily Challenge whenever possible. The waiting period was quite long and I was not getting any response from other companies. I was rejected twice in Microsoft interviews (3rd and 4th round), which was frustrating but helped me focus on my weak areas and improve my coding skills.
