Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - India
Process
Applied online, the first round was surprisingly about system design and React. The second round, I was expecting system design questions. It was a tough one, but it was full of JavaScript "trick" questions. Now, judging someone on trick questions and fancy terms is totally unfair.
Questions
What is a temporal dead zone?
How will you design Google Docs?
How does React's Virtual DOM work?
Can you copy an object with Object.assign?
