There were 4 rounds of interview. Mostly focused on work experience and Data structures and algorithms. Here is the description of all the rounds.

Round 1

Firstly, they asked me about my work experience and didn't spend much time asking more and jumped straight into the problem solving round.

Question : Given an array of array consisting of 3 values, arrival time, exit time and capacity, There is a bus which can onboard k number of passengers, Find out whether all the passengers can be on-boarded on the same bus or not during its journey ?

ex - [4, 1, 2], [3, 3, 7], [2, 6, 9], k = 5 He made me run the code on a compiler and executed it with multiple test cases.

Round 2

In this Round, Focus was heavily on Work Experience and system design Principles mostly high level Design. About 50 mins was spent on the question about system design and work experience. In last 10 mins, It was an easy question about reversing a linked list with 2 approaches, iterative and recursive.

Round 3

He asked me questions related to my work experience and more open ended questions such as define Lambda (which was written in my resume). Then he gave me a java file that contains the question where we have to return the output of the postfix notation. ReversePolishNotation. It is easy question but focus was not on solving the question, Focus was more on the other aspects of the code which are variable name, functional programming, proper breakdown of the code and communication skills as his primary language was not english. <h3>Round 4</h3> Managerial Round, He asked me questions related to my work experience but grilled deeper into each and every thing, overall went for like 40 mins.

Key Takeaways

  1. They Focus more on the communication skills and overall personality of the candidate.
  2. They are more focused on work and DSA will only be of easy/medium questions.
  3. Some questions can be indirect, one has to be smart while answering them. They can ask you about what are your interests in tech (Expect some grilling on whatever choice you make, make sure to back it up with some work that you have done in it as well.), why do you wanna leave your current organisation (can be hard grilled on this one)?
  4. One will face difficulty in communication as the interviewer will be either from Spain or USA. Overall interview level was medium.

They offer a super high cash salary even greater than Google, Uber -/-
