Senior Staff Engineer Interview Experience - New Delhi, India
Process
First Round - Managerial
I was informed that I can expect a little bit of technical as well.
I was prepared with system design and my own projects.
But guess what happened...
Questions were like:
- How arrays store elements in memory?
- How memory is allocated and what's the reason behind O(1) complexity for indexed-based search in arrays?
- What is a bit? What values can it store?
'Grow up, guys!' I felt I should break out of the interview in the middle, but I still continued patiently.
Waste of time.
