2.5 long interview
Good energy and a nice place to work.
I didn't like the development style (no agile, monolithic and such).
No response after more than a month, it isn't a respectful behavior to candidates and a waste of my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Same questions as other people mentioned - implement undo operation.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Algotec (Netanya) in June 2022
Interview
First HR interview than proceeded to 2 technical interviews.
First technical interview took 2 hours - one simple coding question and one system design question.
Second interview took also 2 hours - most of the questions were regarding issues they had in their systems -concurrency problem . got the felling that the interviewer wasn't in the mood for it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
first technical interview - remove spaces from string in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space. later I was asked about the redo and undo in paint ,had to give 3 ways of implementing it. the Interviewer was very nice and polite.
The 2nd interview I asked about producer and consumer event communication with message queue . The question : you have a producer that produces 3 types of events, we have 3 processes that can handle a specific event at a time - synchronize the work. they looked for a signaling mechanism answer with Redis. Later the interviewer expanded the question , don't really remember the specifics , in my opinion he wanted me to design a lightweight Kafka system. both interviews took 2 hours long each.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Algotec (Raanana) in Dec 2019
Interview
Very fast process, it took less than 10 days from the first interview to getting an offer.
There are 4 stages: 2 technical interviews with team leader and group manager, and 2 personal interviews with R&D manager and HR.
The interviewers were very kind.
