Process
The interview process started with HackerRank. It had three problems to be solved within a time limit.
The problems were neither easy nor hard. I spent more time on the first and second problems to make the solutions efficient, so not too much time was available for the third one.
Tip: Watch the time. I cleared the test with some tests failing due to timeouts.
The on-site interview had three steps:
- First round: Several junior folks asked typical design and software engineering questions.
- Second round: Senior engineers/team leads.
- Third round: Hiring manager interview.
Questions
General software engineering questions.
