Process

Received a HackerRank with some questions about REST APIs, general CS fundamentals, and a coding question on comparing two strings.

Upon completion, I was invited for a final onsite with four interviewers.

I was asked no behavioral questions. It started off as a brief introduction, then a bunch of conceptual questions about networking, such as "Describe TCP," as well as CS fundamental questions, such as "Describe a hash table."

After about 20 minutes of this, it was the coding portion, consisting of LeetCode Mediums. Here are the problems:

  • Valid Substrings
  • Minimum Difference Pairs
  • Minimum Number of Substitutions
  • Course Schedule

Interviewers and the hiring manager were gracious, but ultimately I declined because I wasn't interested in the work specific to the team.

Was this helpful?
