Product Engineer Interview Experience

January 11, 2021
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online, and the process took two weeks.

I had applied through the career portal, and after a couple of days, I got a call from a recruiter saying that my profile was shortlisted and she scheduled the first technical round for one hour. Since it was COVID times, all rounds were supposed to be virtual-only.

  • Round 1: Three interviewers were there, and they asked various questions about current projects, data structures (writing code on your choice of editor, as they needed a working solution), database design, and Linux administration.
  • Round 2: After one day, I got a call for the second round, and they again asked questions from the current project and a bit of networking.

After a couple of days, when I didn't get a reply, I asked HR for feedback, and they mailed me saying thanks for attending the interview. Then there was another HR call saying that I didn't fit the profile and that they needed someone more experienced.

Questions

The questions asked were:

  • Find maxima in a partially sorted array in the least possible time.
  • Explain the difference between services in Kubernetes.
  • Discuss various Linux commands, which I don't remember exactly.
  • Explain what happens when you type google.com in the browser.
