Process
The recruiter informed me there will be a total of 4 rounds: 2 Data Structures and Algorithms-based rounds, 1 Design round, and 1 HM round. This is once I clear the Karat round, which is a screening round.
Questions
Questions for Karat round:
- DP based: Given a start point and endpoint on a number line (1 to 10) and a list of hurdles [1, 4], you can jump forward and backward two steps (e.g., from 2 to 4, or from 2 to 1). You cannot jump if there is a hurdle. Count the number of starting points from which you can reach the destination. You cannot go beyond the start and end points on the number line.

Great culture, no BS
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
December 31, 2022
Pros: Honestly, a great culture, probably one of the best places I have worked at. Amazing and open people where everyone is there to get the job done. They really live their values (as cliché as that sounds), but honestly, day to day genuinely shows.
Cons: As with any major company, things can seemingly move slowly as the team's priorities change from quarter to quarter. This makes it difficult to do long-term planning and achieve goals.

Good Pay, Bad Work

Pros: Great pay, work from home.
Cons: Underwhelming work, open values changed with new management, promotion opportunities limited. Expectations became unrealistic in an effort to push employees out.
