  • Kickoff meeting with a recruiter.
  • A HackerRank assessment of two coding questions and two multiple-choice questions, scheduled for a one-hour session.
  • A technical interview featuring another coding problem, scheduled for one hour.
  • Finally, a five-hour session, scheduled for almost a whole day, with five one-hour sessions.

Questions

The Technical Interview consisted of a coding problem for an LRU Cache.

For the main session, there were two coding problems:

  • Reversing a singly linked list
  • A problem showing a list of messages based on a specific timeframe.

One hour was focused on Architecture and high-level design, discussing how the architecture of the projects I've participated in is composed.

Other questions included examples of challenging projects and how to solve human conflicts in a working environment.

The remaining two questions were based on:

  • Project management (estimating, planning, coordinating, delivering, and maintaining)
  • The phases of the software life cycle (requirements determination, analysis, design, coding, QA, implementation, and support).
