Lead Engineer Interview Experience - Bangkok, Thailand
Process
The interview process consisted of:
- Two coding interviews
- One architecture interview
- One general engineering/process chat
The first interview was LeetCode-style, with two questions. One of these was the "longest palindrome in a string" problem.
The second interview was a React coding interview. I was given an existing codebase and asked to make changes to fulfill requirements and pass unit tests.
The third interview was an architecture interview. I described how to build a queuing system to admit users to a website only if it was not full, covering full-stack aspects from databases to the frontend.
The final interview was with the Director of Engineering, discussing general topics such as testing, CI/CD, code quality, and metrics.
