Interview Process
The interview process included a coding challenge focused on the “Number of Islands” problem, which was solved using both Depth First Search (DFS) and Breadth First Search (BFS) techniques. The candidate was also asked about establishing a logging system for a server and how to deploy to a server cluster, using Jenkins for CI/CD methods. Additionally, there was a question about designing a task scheduler. The candidate felt that the interview was not very engaging, as the interviewers seemed distracted and uninterested, leading to repeated explanations of the same concepts.
