Process
I applied online. The process took 2 months.
First round was an online assessment on HackerRank which consisted of 2 questions. Next was the full loop. This is for an L5 position. The loop had lots of behavioral questions based on leadership principles and LeetCode medium and hard questions.
Questions
- Trapping rain water
- Given an array of song names, create a random songs playlist.
- String A and B is given. Find all the indices from A where B is an anagram match.
- Design of publisher/subscriber notification system.
