Senior Associate Applications Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
HR screening, then a technical round, followed by managerial rounds.
In the technical round, he didn't turn on his camera and was very distracting. I wasn't sure what he was asking; some questions were very basic, and some were very tricky.
I had a really bad experience, but I am sure the questions he asked were not relevant to the work.
Questions
Anonymous class authentication techniques.
12 rules for REST API idempotent and non-idempotent HTTP methods.
Which data structure is used for unique elements? (very basic)
