Process

Round 1: Online Assessment on Hackerrank for 90 minutes.

  • 3 Questions: 1 Medium, 2 Hard (LeetCode level).

After solving all three, I received a call from the recruiter the next day to schedule an introductory call.

Introductory Call:

The recruiter described openings on several teams and asked my preference among them.

Two 60-minute calls with the Engineering Team were scheduled.

Call 1:

The question was vague regarding pipelines and graphs. I was asked to write an algorithm for it, which I did using BFS and a custom traversal.

Call 2:

This call started with an easy question on the Stock problem (LeetCode), and then I was asked for the Medium and Hard versions. I was able to solve all three.

After a couple of days, the recruiter contacted me with a rejection.

The reason cited was a lack of software projects in application development in my previous experience.

Questions
