My resume was forwarded to this group through a friend. The recruiter got in touch to schedule a phone screen, and then scheduled an additional one.

The first phone screen focused on a string manipulation question, basic computer science, and object-oriented concepts (such as threading basics and polymorphism). It also covered my work experience.

The second phone screen focused more on my understanding of memory allocation. I had to identify challenges and errors on a given custom memory allocator. Another question involved an array of integers.

I was called onsite a week later for five rounds of interviews.

Questions were based on a mix of understanding computer science concepts—like multi-threading, client-server behavior, HTTP basics, and scalability—along with algorithms, coding, and testing ability.

Some of the coding-related questions included:

• Reversal of a sentence
• Sorting an array based on its modulo 'k' value
• A 2-D array sorting-related question

I received the offer a week later and accepted it.

The lunch interview discussed a bit about my work. The rest of the interview, as mentioned above under the interview process.
