Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Switzerland

March 16, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Someone from their tech team conducted the system design interview alone.

I didn't find the interview well-organized or well-formulated. It seemed to me that she was improvising and she did not know how to properly assess my solution. Perhaps she had something in mind that she couldn't communicate properly, and I never reached the solution she expected.

Questions

Design a scalable solution for an abstract system where a client communicates with a server only through "publish(topic, message)" and "subscribe(topic)".
