I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at VAST Data (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Mar 2021
Interview
I was asked a few technical questions, in 3 different interview stages (with 3 different people). some questions were standard (e.g. swap every pair of nodes in a linked list).
some more questions, mostly regarding multithreading and how to use it properly: synchronization, efficiency, etc..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
you have an application that lets the user read / write data from a DB/storage/disk. these reads and writes occur mostly in big bursts, rather than spread out across time.
how would you design the application in order to handle these bursts, in a way that wont affect the user (as much as possible). the problem is that these actions are time consuming, and if they occur in bursts, the user will experience a significant delay.
