Senior Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
The first round was HackerRank, with some aptitude and programming questions. They asked about what I was working on (Kafka and Cassandra) in detail. I felt the interviewer lacked interview experience, because in an interview, you should not ask questions about topics on which a person has not worked or which are not in their profile. So, it was a worst interview.
Questions
- Details of Spring Framework.
- How you will handle cascading failures in your system in case an external API is failing.
- Kafka in detail.
- Cassandra in detail.
