Process
I was contacted by a recruiter over hire.jobinvite, and then I was scheduled for a telephonic round. All the interviewers were very humble and tried to make me comfortable.
Only two things matter: DS&A and design, to clear the interview. Design seemed to be more important, as even after a 100% strike rate in DS, I could not clear. :(
First round - Telephonic
- Intersection node of 2 LinkedLists
- Implement stack and keep track of the minimum element (use 2 stacks)
- N processes with some dependencies, how to execute them in minimum time (topology sort)
Then I was called for F2F to Bangalore. All the expenses were paid by the company.
F2F Round 1
- Design a policy-based cache
F2F Round 2
- DS-based:
- Closest leaf
- Topology sort
- 3-tuple that forms a sum and then optimize it further
F2F Round 3
- Data modeling and object modeling
- Design an online test
The process was good. The focus is on DESIGN. Best of luck... !!

Especially infrastructure teams have engineering managers who understand our work. Even during pressure situations, everyone is together in it.Cons: The culture is not uniform across the company. Some teams have a lot of pressure and poor managers who put pressure they get from above onto their team. A team I worked in the past was very ad-hoc, and we used to get tickets assigned by multiple managers. Far too many managers per developer.
