CoderPad

Onsite
It was a wierd experince over all for me. I had three rounds of interview hoping two will be of coding and one of system design but none of them were coding.

Round 1:
Class Recipe {
String name;
List< String > ingredients;
}

You have database with recipes, design a method which would fetch a recipe based on the ingredients that you have.

Round 2:
Questions on my resume and SLDC. I explained the design that we use but the inerviewers were not convinced that what I explained is possible even though it is (I confirmed it later to make sure I am not wrong). Seemed like they were specifically looking for a particular answer which I couldn't give them.

Round 3:
Design TinyURL: (if you are asked this question, please start it with a simple answer like a counter and go on from there)
Design a system which would maintain the assests of an inversotor and get the periodic data of how investment grew or fell down over a course of time. Scale it.

Good Luck!
