Interview was for position of MEAN Stack Developer. First Round 5 Questions. Relatively Easy ones just required use of if and for. Second Round with the CTO. Talked about my Resume. One question from Algorithm and Data Structures on Graph and hopping. Question : Given a finite set of three letter words How will you find out minimum number of hops required to reach from one word to the other. Conditions : Hops should be minimum. Resulting word should be in the set. Ex Input ['sat','cat','rat','tap,'stt'] 'sat' 'stt'
Output 1 Questions on MEAN Ques 1 : What apps have you created in Node and How ? How much Angular did you use? Ques 2 : Explain session and cookie in your code. Ques 3: How does session remember details of every member that logs in. Like thousand people open flipkart. Now what they choose, what they see is being stored. and also there cart. On code level how will you achieve it? Ques 4 : What are callbacks ? Why callbacks came into existence? Ques 5 : Scope of variable in javascript. Ques 6 : Classes in Javascript. Ques 7 : Which driver you use to interact with mongo from Nodejs.
Round 3 HR Round with Product manager. General questions about current and expected pay.

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