Interview Process
The interview consisted of two main topics. The first focused on system design, particularly on CI/CD with an emphasis on schedulers. The second topic involved in-memory data management. The discussion on system design went well, as it was closely related to my work background. However, the in-memory data portion did not go as smoothly, as I struggled to complete the task due to over-preparation. The interview format encouraged candidates to complete the tasks first and then discuss their solutions to avoid pitfalls.
