Question 1
I was asked how I will select technologies for a project and what technology initiatives I took in my current company
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kickdrum (Bengaluru) in Jul 2018
Interview
Office environment is very good. They have co-workspace culture.
They have given a brief introduction of the company of what their goals and principles.
The first round is of hacker rank test. It has two questions
One is on data structure problem and another on Sql query.
The second round is on architecture discussion where they have given a flow of how one application is working covering all the layers from UI to database and back.
This round is of how optimal you are thinking in terms of database management (handling the load, handling large amount of data), data structures you are using in your code (how we can optimal use time and space complexity to handle large amounts of data in api level).
Overall I felt the interview process is fair enough to analyse one's skills on how individual can think of optimal solutions at different layers of an application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Get the top ten most used keywords by an user where the keywords are fetched in multiple csv files. How can you optimise space complexity and if you are going for sorting or something, which kind of datastructure you would use?
