I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

The full process involves a phone screening, followed by a pen and paper coding assessment, and then an in-depth architectural discussion. Final steps include an HR interview, checking recommendations, and a formal offer.

1. Given a list of tuples (for example: [(2,3), (1,8), (0,5), (10,12)]); return the minimal gapping value. (In the example, it should return 9).
2. Implement "exponential backoff" mechanism. You have to implement 2 functions: void tick() void handleTask(int tid) Told you have a shared memory. A follow-up question is, what if you have a lot of tasks? How would you change your initial implementation?
