Agoda coding interview
questions, leaked.

40 problems reported across recent Agoda interviews. Top patterns: array, string, hash table. The list below is what most reported candidates actually saw, plus the honest play if you can't grind all of it.

Founder's read

Agoda's online assessment hits you with 40 problems across two hours, mostly medium-difficulty array and string work. You'll see 3Sum, House Robber, Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters, and Daily Temperatures on rotation. The good news: 35 of the 40 are easy or medium, so the bar is pattern recognition, not algorithm invention. The bad news: array problems alone make up 68% of the question pool. You need deep fluency in two-pointers, prefix sums, and sliding windows before you sit down. If you blank mid-assessment, StealthCoder runs invisibly during screen share and surfaces a working solution in seconds, so you don't crater on a problem you've actually drilled.

The hedge

You have a week, maybe less. You can't out-grind the list above. StealthCoder runs invisibly during the actual Agoda OA. The proctor cannot see it. Screen share cannot detect it. Made by a working FAANG engineer who treats the OA the way companies treat hiring: as a game with rules you should know.

Topic distribution
What this means

Array dominance is the story here. 27 out of 40 problems touch arrays, and that includes dynamic-programming grid problems, monotonic-stack work, and two-pointer patterns. String shows up in 11 problems, almost always paired with hash tables or sliding windows. Hash tables anchor the tougher substring and window-sliding questions. Dynamic programming is medium-depth: House Robber, Coin Change, Unique Paths II, and Triangle are bread-and-butter DP, not hard combinatorics. Two-pointers and sorting matter for 3Sum and absolute-difference problems. Stack appears in Daily Temperatures and stack-simulation questions. Drill arrays first, then nail sliding-window patterns on strings. Dynamic programming and two-pointers are your next tier. If you hit a wall on a DP formulation or forget how to track two pointers in a sorted array during the live OA, StealthCoder is your hedge.

The honest play

You've seen the list. Now make sure you pass Agoda.

Memorizing every problem above in a week is a fantasy. StealthCoder is the hedge: an AI overlay that's invisible during screen share. It reads the problem on screen and surfaces a working solution in under 2 seconds. Made by a working FAANG engineer who treats the OA the way companies treat hiring: as a game with rules you should know. Works on HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, and Karat.

Agoda interview FAQ

What should I study first for Agoda?+

Array fundamentals. They show up in 27 of 40 problems. Pair that with two-pointers (3Sum, Backspace String Compare) and sliding-window patterns on strings (Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters, Minimum Window Substring). Nail those three patterns before touching anything else.

Is dynamic programming heavy on Agoda's assessment?+

No. DP appears in 8 problems out of 40, and they're all classic patterns: House Robber, Coin Change, Unique Paths II, Triangle. These are pattern-match problems, not hard derivations. Treat them as your third tier after arrays and two-pointers.

How much time should I spend on hash tables?+

Hash tables appear in 10 problems, usually paired with strings or sliding windows. They're not the primary focus. Spend your time on array and string drills first. Hash tables become relevant once you're confident in Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters and Minimum Window Substring.

Will I see hard problems on Agoda's OA?+

Only 2 out of 40 problems are hard-difficulty. Agoda's assessment leans medium and easy. Minimum Window Substring is the hardest; it combines hash tables, strings, and sliding windows. Master that pattern and the rest is safer ground.

Should I memorize sorting algorithms?+

Sorting matters in 9 problems, but you don't need to code your own sort. Know how to use built-in sorts and when to apply them. 3Sum and Minimum Absolute Difference both rely on sorted arrays. Understand the pattern, not the algorithm itself.
