Interview
I applied online, and got a response after about 2 weeks. We then scheduled a telephone interview. The interviewer was friendly, and apart from him there was one other person listening in. Did not pass the phone interview stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about implementing spreadsheet functionality, and the complexity of certain operations
The process started with an initial virtual round, followed by an onsite interview. It included a mix of system design and coding problems focused on real-world system applications. Unfortunately, I didn’t perform well in the onsite, which was the most critical stage.
It was a very quick and painless process. Recruiter very responsive, kind interviewers. High implementation and difficult problems, so failed onsite after 3 interviews and a Question and Answer Session.
Did not pass the initial coding round. I tried to explain my thought in details to the interviewer but failed to translate my thought into code. So far interviewer is very nice.
