D. E. Shaw India interview questions

First round will be DSA, gives flexibility in any programing language. Question will be basically from LEET Code. Even for SDET, I recommend to cover the Heap, Trees, DP .

The interview process consisted of four main stages: a phone interview, an online technical interview, an on-site technical interview, and a final on-site HR/leadership interview with a Director. The initial phone screen and both technical rounds were well-organized and a positive experience. The technical interviewers were engaging and asked relevant, structured questions. However, the final round with the Director was highly unprofessional. The interviewer appeared completely disengaged, yawned repeatedly throughout the session, and asked superficial questions that did not feel relevant to the role. It felt like a checkbox exercise rather than a genuine evaluation, which was disappointing given the effort put into the earlier technical stages.
