Round 1: Technical Discussion

  • Intro
  • Deep dive into current work project and some challenges faced
  • How to monitor micro services?
  • TLS complete flow explaination
  • JWT explaination
  • DNS explaination
  • HTTP explaination
  • GRPC vs REST explaination
  • Interservice communication
  • AWS related questions like API gateway, WAF, etc.

Round 2: Machine Coding

  • Deep dive into current project for half hour, they got upset when I said I couldn't reveal the core business logic as I'm bounded by NDA.
  • Rate limiter design but had only 10 mins left for coding after discussing approach(sliding window). Couldn't finish it obviously.
  • There were 2 interviewers who argued among themselves and i was just staring at the screen most of the times. The entire process was very confusing.

I declined HLD interview because the LLD round left a bad taste. Also, from both interviews, I got the idea that the organisation is fixed on using Nodejs for everything and if you want to use some other tech stack then you need to "fight for it". I didn't want to work on javascript so didn't proceed further. Recruiter was very helpful. First interviewer was a very good interviewer.
