Process

Got selected by answering a few technical questions during the career fair.

A few weeks later, I received an email to schedule an interview for the next day.

There were two rounds of technical interviews.

Questions covered:

  • Networking
  • Dynamic programming

Team requirements included:

  • Data and communication
  • Distributed Systems

Questions

Dynamic Algorithm: All possible ways to reach a floor in a building if you can only take 1, 2, or 5 steps at a time.

If you have a huge dataset of numbers across multiple computers, how will you find the average of all the numbers?
