Interview
Amazing interview process. First round was couple of easy dsa questions like two sum and find if the array contains 50% of the same element. This was followed by concepts like parallel sort, threads and concurrency. Second round had one design question wherein in I was asked to implement malloc, free and compact function keeing fragmentation concept in mind. Third round was also a design question in which a large file was given and I had to efficiently read and find out prime numbers. Fourth round had one coding question given limited time of 10 mins which I couldn't crack. All in all one enligtining day.
An informal chat with the hiring manager asking about previous experience with an opportunity to ask the hiring manager about the role. It was nothing too technical—mostly behavioural questions and asking about a personal project.
Very friendly, they are in the problem solving process with you.
