Entretien
Usual Software Engineering interview process.
First I had a call with a recruiter to discuss roles.
1 telephonic round. LC question. It was not straightforward. It was not an usual array or tree question. Basic data structure concepts had to be applied to solve the question.
I thought the interview went well.
Next round was a virtual onsite interview. I scheduled it after 2 weeks so that I can prepare some more.
Recruiter gave an overview about the whole interview process.
2 Coding rounds and 2 System design rounds (1 hour each), Hiring manager round (45 minutes).
1st coding round, question was open ended. I asked a few follow up questions to the interviewer. The interviewer gave an ambiguous response to those questions which led me to solve the problem in a non optimal way.
I was not able to come up with a proper logic. When I wrote the code, I missed some edge cases.
I messed up this round. I could have done better.
System design rounds -- if you are designing APIs for a while and preparing for programming interviews, you should be able to answer the System Design questions.
Again the questions were not straightforward questions like Design FB or Twitter.
I really enjoyed the System design rounds. They were thought provoking and interviewers were very good.
The Last coding round was easy. I was able to come up with an optimal solution fairly quickly.
At the end of the interview, I knew I would not get selected because of the 1st coding round.
I got the onsite interview results in 2 days.
Recruiter gave me good detailed feedback on the interviews.
It really helped me to work on those things and get better prepared for other interviews.
Looks like it's a very good place to work. I would definitely recommend interviewing here.
Thank you so much for this fantastic overview of the interview process. It will be very helpful to future interviewers. We appreciate you taking the time and energy to go through this process and wish you all the best!
