Hackerrank Test :
Two medium level problem solving questions.
Was able to solve one with all test cases passed, other one with more than 50% of test cases passed.
Round 1 (HLD)
HLD : Twitter like system having basic requirements.
Interviewer seemed satisfied with my design.
Round 2 (Code)
A medium level question on tree, some questions were asked from my previous projects on resume.
Covered edge cases had to reiterate my solution to give a optimized solution, in the end went well.
Round 3 (HLD/LLD)
HLD/LLD : Needed to design a generic gaming platform, with backend APIs in detail
There were few hickups in this round, this went for aroud 1.5 hrs had a lot of discussion on design and interviewer was really involved in the discussions, started with HLD and went into detailed LLD aspects.
Round 4 (Hiring Manager)
A medium level question on tree, A medium level unconventional question on arrays, behavioural questions like most challenging project, any critical feedback recieved from managers.
This went really well, had really good discussions on the coding problems, the questions were somewhat uncoventional, so there could be multiple solutions, interviewer seemed saisfied with the discussions, this also went for more than an hour.
After a week got the positive respose from HR (see the compensation details below), the interviewers were really good and I really enjoyed the discussions. I would recommend to prepare for behavioural questions (these are very important) [there are some fixed set of questions out of which generally one or two are asked] and practice for medium level problem solving questions on leetcode.
