Question 1
A project is supposed to be delivered in near week and a lot of work is yet to be done, being a team lead how would you handle this situation?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BrowserStack (Goregaon) in Sep 2025
Interview
First there will be an online assessment mostly technical MCQs which is easy and straightforward. Then they will mostly ask you to build a server side API prototype, for me it was to implement 'tail -f' unix command via sockets for real time updates of a log file. I got 2 hours to do that from scratch - with no AI help although you CAN google for simple queries.
tip: Don't use AI to build everything from scratch. Do you homework on web dev, computer networks, Web Sockets and actually understand the working. I dont think they either ways expect from you a full production ready frontend+backend. Just make whatever they ask honestly and with clarity most importantly. Walk through your logic and code - be clear and talkative.
Saying this because I did just that - communicate, even though i didn't make the frontend just made bare minimum backend and explained my logic code reasoning and got shortlisted.
After that you will be interviewed either alone or in pairs. I got rejected at this last round. Tip for this round: Explain/show your projects and resume; properly do your homework.
