Process
The process was smooth. The recruiter was very helpful and nice throughout the entire process.
It started with a phone screen with the recruiter, followed by a HackerRank assessment. Successful candidates then moved on to the "Power Day," which is the final interview.
On Power Day, I interviewed with four people, covering the following areas:
- System Design
- LeetCode-style coding
- Case study
- Behavioral questions
Questions
-
Given a string and a character, determine how many times that character appears in the string.
-
Design a smart meter system for an apartment complex.
