Deere interview questions

Not selected2 rounds

1. 1
   Video technical (medium)Technical

   60-minute video call with two coding problems: detect a cycle in an undirected graph, and find the maximum path sum between any two leaves of a binary tree. The interviewer expected optimized approaches (Floyd's algorithm for the graph, post-order traversal tracking left/right root-to-leaf sums for the tree).

   Covered · Graphs, Trees, Data structures & algorithms

2. 2
   Video technical (easy)Technical

   Another 60-minute video call with two problems: an Euler totient function variant returning integers whose phi values sum to N, and cycle detection in a singly linked list with two-pointer plus loop-start identification.

   Covered · Number theory, Linked lists, Data structures & algorithms

1. 1
   Online technical testOnline assessment

   Nine-question test split into seven CS-fundamentals MCQs and two coding problems. Standard undergrad CS material rather than competitive-programming style.

   Covered · CS fundamentals, Data structures & algorithms, Aptitude

2. 2
   Technical interview (Skype)Technical

   Virtual interview centred on OOP fluency (for example, which data structure to back an undo/redo stack), plus one strongly-connected-components question and one unbounded knapsack question. A resume/project deep-dive followed, and it closed with a lightweight design prompt asking the candidate to sketch the basic structure of an app to help immigrants find jobs during the lockdown.

   Covered · OOP, Data structures & algorithms, Graphs, Dynamic programming, Past projects, Low-level design

1. 1
   Hiring manager conversationHiring manager

   A 30-minute call with the hiring manager covering the role, team structure and the candidate's background. Framed as mutual-fit rather than screening.

   Covered · Behavioral, Resume deep-dive, Team fit

2. 2
   On-site behavioural + technical (2 hours)Panel

   First hour was behavioural, probing collaboration, growth mindset and technical curiosity, with the interviewer explicitly stating why each question was being asked and coaching the candidate to answer in individual-contribution terms. Second hour was a paired technical exercise: a Git flow challenge (branch, commit, push) and a TDD challenge on HackerRank where pre-written Java unit tests had to be made to pass.

   Covered · STAR stories, Behavioral, Git, Testing, Test-driven development

1. 1
   Recruiter intakePhone screen

   Sourced via a Naukri invite from Deere's hiring team, then handled by a third-party recruiter who reviewed the resume, confirmed interest, and scheduled the first round about three days later.

   Covered · Resume deep-dive, Role fit

2. 2
   Technical interviewTechnical

   Roughly one hour. Opened with introduction and a project deep-dive (which the candidate found comfortable), then moved into progressively harder ML/DL questions - model evaluation, bias-variance, regularisation, then deeper advanced ML - and closed with one relatively easy DSA problem which the candidate solved.

   Covered · Past projects, Machine learning, Deep learning, Data structures & algorithms

1. 1
   Online test (Cocubes, 60 minutes)Online assessment

   Covered · Aptitude, C programming, Pointers, Operating systems, Networking

2. 2
   Technical interview (telephonic/Skype)Technical

   One-on-one resume-driven discussion focused on the candidate's projects and general electronics-and-communication fundamentals, with follow-up questions calibrated to the projects listed.
