Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Similar to the SDE interview process.

Initial technical screening.

The initial meeting with talent acquisition was about my expertise on certain tools and processes.

Then, a technical screening was set after a month.

I believe SDE and SRE are tested on similar technical challenges.

Questions

Questions:

Trivial polymorphism. Dynamically typed vs. statically typed (with an example). What is the difference between instance, class, and static methods (Python)?

Python question: Given a dictionary {"a": "a", "b": "b"}, does a function change the dictionary? The correct answer is yes. What should we do to not affect the dictionary? Deep copy of the dictionary.

End.

Airline ticketing system: Calculate ticketing (cost of operations changes per airline, and cost of ticketing changes per airline). airline_list = ['United 150.0 Economy', 'Southwest 150.0 Business', 'American 150.0 Premium']

What if you have 100 airlines with different cost calculations for operations and ticketing? How to tackle this?
