Sprinklr Software Engineer interview: running median and LRU

I started with an online coding assessment, then moved into interviews that leaned heavily on classic DSA and competitive-programming-style problems. In the first interview, I was asked about finding the median in a running stream and about an LRU cache. It felt practical, as though they were testing whether I understood the data structures underneath the ideas.

That round also included a horses puzzle about determining the top three. I had time to code it, and the difficulty felt similar to standard competitive programming: structured enough to solve, but demanding careful reasoning. A second round followed. Looking back, the questions felt like ones I should have handled better if I had been sharper on CP patterns and data-structure implementations.

I did not receive an offer, but the rounds felt fair and focused.

Location: Bengaluru. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
