The interview process consisted of three rounds:

• First round: Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)
• Second round: Low-Level Design (LLD)
• Third round: Managerial round, which included LLD and team-specific domain knowledge assessment.

I interviewed for the Azure SQL team. The first two rounds went well.

However, for the managerial round, I lacked C++ experience and database internals knowledge. Although I was eager to learn and knew more about database internals, I could not answer the questions well and was subsequently rejected.

1. Height of a binary tree

2. Design stone, paper, scissors

3. Question on Dijkstra's algorithm

4. Move from (0,0) to (n,n) in a matrix with blockers

5. How databases implement atomicity

6. Concurrency in a distributed hash table

7. Number of ways to decode a string of numbers to alphabets, like "11" can be decoded to "AA" and "K", so the answer is 2.
