Process

I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule the interview. After it was scheduled, they emailed me details about different parts of the interview and who I am going to meet. The recruiter was nice and communicative. The interview itself was smooth and nice!

Questions

The interview had four parts: behavioral, coding & OOD, SQL design, and system design.

  • Behavioral: They went through my resume and asked questions about my past.
  • Coding & OOD: For coding, they asked the maximum subarray question. For OOD, the question was designing an elevator.
  • SQL design: The question was about a soccer tournament. We have a number of teams that are playing against each other. They asked me to design a database schema to store the teams and results of the matches. Then, they asked me to write some queries.
  • System design: They asked the TinyURL question.
