Backend Developer Interview Experience - Singapore
Process
-
Initial HR telephonic round related to current work, family status, and moving out to a different country.
-
Telephonic interview with screen share. The browser-based tool used to share the screen stopped working a couple of times due to too many simultaneous users.
Interview questions: a. Basic questions about web/INTERNET/HTTP. b. Specify T-SQL schema for a movie review site. c. Basic T-SQL queries to get ranking/rating for specific movies based on genre.
I guess the interviewer's expectation was to move towards a NoSQL store with varied meta-data associated with movie content.
Questions
A classic, old question about describing what happens when a user enters a URL in a browser.
