Interview Process
The interview started with a brief introduction about the projects I’ve worked on. This was followed by a coding challenge focusing on algorithms related to data structures. I was asked to solve a problem on binary trees, which involved traversing and modifying nodes.
After the coding round, there were system design questions regarding how to build a scalable messaging service. The interviewers wanted to know about database choices and how to handle real-time updates.
The final part of the interview included behavioral questions where I was asked about teamwork experiences and how I handle conflicts in a team setting.
Technical Questions
- Binary Tree Traversal (Tree, DFS)
- Design a Messaging Service (System Design)
Tips & Insights
Be prepared to discuss your past projects in detail, and practice coding problems related to data structures and system design. Additionally, think of examples from your past experiences that demonstrate teamwork and conflict resolution skills.
