Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The interview lasted 45 minutes. One programming question was easy. There was also some common knowledge tested regarding database access and distributed systems, such as clusters and partitions. The interviewer was nice.
Questions
- Merge two linked lists and sort them.
- Follow-up: If two lists have the same elements, you will add them twice. How do you fix this?
- Database and server cluster: If one database server crashes, how do you keep client access normal? Once the database server recovers, how do you rebuild the data?
- Database access using locks.
- How do you partition for custom needs?
