Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied in-person.

There is no as such a process, I got a call from the HR mentioning a DS round first , as everything was zoom based due to pandemic ,the interviewer was egoist , had no question after I solved his question in 15 mins , He was too angry for that why I solved his question.

He actually compared a priority queue with hashmap ... thinking what I don't know as if a priority queue will do the same work as a Map can do or what I don't know.

Then we were talking about OAuth 2.0 as I have worked on one of its implementation and I was explaining how we did it , however he was too arrogant to stick to what he has read in Internet I guess.

Cause funny was he was not ready to believe why we have implemented it in certain way and its our implementation , we are not chaning the OAuth2.0 protocol with that.

I mean I felt bunches of fools takes the interview , wasted my time so much and then again after few months I got a call from same HR , saying they are not able to fulfill their requirements and hence changed the panel and would move me to System Design round.

However, guess what , it wasn't a system design.

Anyway this time the interviewer was polite and better than before , but still a waste of time.

No doubts they can't full fill their positions ever.

Questions

  1. easy leet code question( find frequency of words)

  2. Medium leet code question(find all the nth pairs present in an array adding up to a target) however the question was little ambigious , for example if you have 1 and you need to find 15 then add 1 to 15 times to get a 15 , or if you have 10+5 you should have that as well or 5,5 and 5 as well. I could only do upto 4- sum (2, 3 and 4) sum. He didn't look happy with that.

  1. why docker and Kubernates

  2. Java -8 what's so special in Java-8 (I answered well, covered everyting )

  3. write all end points (Rest API) for a particular scenario.
