Software Architect Interview Experience

Process

I met with four people: two Directors and two Architects. The questions asked were trivial. One of them was into role-play, so you had to argue against his silly, fresh-out-of-school assumptions. This was pretty idiotic.

Questions

Say you are running a promotional campaign and wanted to reward the 1000th user. How will you implement a counter for this so that only one user is selected and should really be close to the 1000th user? Locking the counter may not work due to scalability.

Given a random list of numbers, say 2345, find all the permutations of associated letters in a number pad. For example, 2 maps to {a,b,c} and 3 maps to {d,e,f}. So, given 23, find all permutations of abc and def.

Good thing I never got the job at this company because fintech is probably doomed, and Lending Club's CEO just resigned a few weeks after my interview.
