Process

The interview process included two 45-minute-long technical interviews. The interviewers were well-prepared and helped me throughout the process. I asked a lot of questions regarding the problem they provided, and I felt I did pretty well. Towards the end, they gave me a glimpse of the products they were working on, which gave me a very good idea of the work culture.

Overall, my interview experience was very positive.

Questions

Q1) There is an array of 10 integers. I will give you the start and end index of a range and calculate the sum of all numbers within that index range. Do all validations necessary. Will your code work if the array has 10 million integers?

Q2) Design a game of Tetris. What programming classes will you have? Only look at the programming side and do not worry about the graphics programming.
