Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

2 initial phone screens where you will be asked to code on a CollabEdit link.

Then 5 onsite rounds:

  • 2 Technical rounds: where they ask algorithm questions and expect code.
  • 1 Design round: where you have to design a system.
  • 1 Project round: where you have to explain a project you have worked on.
  • 1 Behavioral round: where they simply talk about your background, interests, and other stuff.

Questions

Questions were simple. They do have a question bank.

a) Find the nearest K points given a set of N points. b) Print a tree level by level. c) Given a dictionary and a set of two words, find a path from one word to another such that all intermediate words are also from the dictionary. Example: GOD -> GID -> DID -> DIG -> DOG. At each step, we are allowed only one character change. d) Design Hangman. (They expect MVC architecture.)
