      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NewsCred (New York, NY) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      Phone screen, took about 10 minutes. Mostly talked about what the company does and the culture there. Then I was scheduled for an in-person interview. I met with two software engineers and then the VP of R&D. The meeting with the SWEs was technical. Started off with some data structures questions, and then I did some problems on the whiteboard. The meeting with the VP of R&D was just talking about my resume and experience.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at NewsCred (Dhaka)

      Interview

      At first there was a phone call interview. Which was not technical. Just to get to know me better I guess. After that I got called for the second round. It was a technical interview where I was asked to develop a simplified version of a hotel booking system. I was given 60 minutes to complete it. After I finish the test, interviewers asked questions on my code and wanted to know my philosophy. Questions were on point and logical. I was also asked to solve few problems. We discussed the algorithms and time complexities. After that interview I got called for the 3rd round where I met their VP of Engineering and some other engineers who are in leadership roles. They asked me questions regarding my current job, then gave me hypothetical system design problems to solve. There were few OOP questions which were a bit abstract and hard to understand. Questions regarding design patterns were also asked. That was the last stage of technical interview I guess but unfortunately they decided not to go ahead with me. Which was a bit disappointing from my side. But overall a good experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a simplified version of a hotel booking system. Some Problems related to Hash Table, Array and more. Few Shortest Path related algorithms

      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at NewsCred (Dhaka)

      Interview

      I was called for a face-to-face interview with two of their Engineers. The interview process was very unprofessional and immature. From the get-go, one of the interviewer's attitude was hostile. I am not from a CS or SE background. So at one point, I was asked how I got into programming. I mentioned that I took a few online courses during my college days. So he later advised me to not only take online courses, since a lot of his colleagues took online courses but weren't very good. But I should focus on reading more articles and open source contributions. A fifteen minute lecture followed on how my basic was poor and how much work I needed to do. At that point I had 2.5+ years of industry experience with plenty open source contributions. And it was a long time since I actually took an online course(not that it's a problem in my eyes). While I can accept that my interview wasn't very good, but I didn't really respond to his accusations, since there was no point responding to an illogical person. Couple of months after that interview, I landed a job at a much bigger company with twice the salary they offer. My basic or article reading skill was never questioned.
