Software Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 months.
Technical screening (1 round) + virtual onsite (4 rounds).
Virtual onsite consists of:
- 2 algorithm and coding
- 1 concurrent programming
- 1 BQ
The concurrent programming is extremely hard. They will dive deep into details and let you compare different solutions.
Questions
How can you balance between latency and throughput by setting the buffer size in a WAL writer?
