Interview Process
The interview consisted of a technical portion where I was asked to implement a rate limiter. The interviewer provided a brief overview of the requirements, and we discussed potential approaches. I opted for a token bucket algorithm and explained my reasoning behind it.
After that, I started coding. The interviewer interjected with questions to assess my thought process and approach. I focused on code readability and efficiency while writing the implementation. Once I finished coding, the interviewer asked about edge cases and how I would handle them. This segment lasted about 15 minutes.
Finally, we transitioned into behavioral questions where I discussed a group project I led last summer, detailing the challenges we faced and how we overcame them. The interviewer seemed genuinely interested and asked follow-up questions to dive deeper into my experiences. Overall, it was a positive experience.
