Interview Process

During my phone screen interview with Roblox, I was asked to solve a rate limiter problem. The interviewer provided a brief overview of rate limiting and then presented a scenario where I needed to implement a simple rate limiter function. I discussed my approach towards implementing this solution and went through a few test cases with the interviewer. Overall, the conversation was technical, but the interviewer was supportive and provided guidance when I was stuck on some aspects of the implementation. The interview lasted approximately 14 minutes, which felt a bit rushed, but I was able to cover most of the key points. At the end of the interview, I had the opportunity to inquire about the company culture and the technologies the team uses. I’m currently waiting to hear back regarding the next steps in the interview process.
