February 8, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial email, followed by an HR discussion over the phone describing the process and some details about the position.

This is followed by one behavioral interview and one technical phone interview.

Questions

Technical round: LRU Cache type question with a little modification around locks and multithreading. Pretty easy one.

Behavioral round: Lot of behavioral questions were asked, more about working style in a team, things which are important to you, difference between levels of engineer, etc.
