I received an online test invite for SDET at Sprinklr from a recruiter. The first round was an online test of 60 minutes in HackerEarth and consisted of MCQ related to aptitude, selenium, java. After 3 days I received mail that I have been shortlisted for further rounds
Round 1 Some basic java coding problems and Collection framework Selenium-based questions and writing code snippets for the same Some real-life scenario-based testing questions API testing-based questions like status codes etc.
Round 2 Basic Java concepts like OOPS, abstract class, interface, collections framework, differences between list and map Basic coding problems and their complexity like Anagram (I did it by sorting the character array but interviewer insisted me on doing it with hashMap) and finding no of 1's in a sorted binary array Selenium-based code snippets for a login page, clicking right-click, selecting from the dropdown, taking a screenshot. 3 Bulb and switch puzzle, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/aptitude/puzzle-7-3-bulbs-and-3-switches/ Test scenarios and test cases on a pen
Round 3 It was taken by a senior QA Manager and it started with a basic introduction and reason for leaving the company and then he went on to ask technical questions Coding questions again on string manipulation Then he sent some java based I/O questions and asked me to give output along with the explanation Automation framework related questions and code snippets Test scenarios and test cases on the WhatsApp app, API testing, and automation framework
Round 4 This was a managerial round and interviewers were VP and Quality head of the company and they asked more about my work, day-to-day activities in my current project, high-level discussion on the current project's framework, and some questions from my resume.
Round 5 This was taken by the head of HR and he asked some behavioral questions and cultural fit questions. It was a great experience and I suggest one should focus on the language of your choice and master it, for SDET profile you should be very good with:- String concepts and collection framework specially hashmap and good hold on selenium methods, locating web elements technique and practice creating test scenarios of real-life objects and some well know applications and last but not least should know your project framework.

About Sprinklr Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Sprinklr. 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 Sprinklr are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Sprinklr 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 Sprinklr reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Sprinklr 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 Sprinklr 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.
