Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - India

May 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The process included a HackerRank test followed by two technical rounds: coding and system design.

Interviewers had a strong accent, which made it difficult to understand them. They expected only fixed solutions that they knew.

I declined the offer after interacting with their interviewers.

Questions

Coding:

Given a list of rooms, each with a room ID, price, start day, and end day. Merge rooms with the same room ID and price, provided their intervals extend each other. For example, a (start, end day) of (5, 7) can be merged with (8, 11). The output should only have (5, 11).

Design:

A messaging service to send emails, faxes, or API calls to hotel partners.
