Written was mixture of technical and aptitude. Aptitude tests covers few questions on numbers, reasoning and probability. Technical part covers Operating System, Database and Data Structures Coding Questions 1. Given a sorted array, print any two numbers equal to a given number. 2. Write optimized code to find x to the power of y. 3. Given an array of n numbers, divide the array in 3 Lots in such a way that the difference between the lots is minimum (I gave sort the array and then divide into lots by taking elements from each list for e.g. 1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9 take them like (1,6,7),(2,5,8),(3,6,9)). 4. Write a program to print the matrix in alternating rectangle of 0's and X's. 5. Write a program for searching for number of occurrences of a word in file. Technical :

Solution written in the test for coding questions was asked to elaborate and asked to do the necessary optimizations if possible. Q1. Difference between abstract classes and Interfaces Q2. What are time sharing systems. Q3. Important Concepts of OOPS (Inheritance,Encapsulation) advantage of OOPS over other Languages. Q4. CPU Scheduling Algorithms Q5.

About Shreepartners Interview Reports

This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Shreepartners. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.

Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at Shreepartners are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.

For broader preparation context, the Shreepartners interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.

How To Practice This Type of Question

Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.

Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in Shreepartners reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.

During Your Shreepartners Round

Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.

The single most predictive failure mode in Shreepartners reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
