Hi community, I recently interviewed at rubrik and I am here to share my interview experience for Software engineer role - India.

Current company: Microsft, 2.5 YOE

Round 1: System coding 1 [Last week of January]
Implement a bounded thread safe queue.
Implement a thread pool task executor.
Folllow ups: How to handle exeception in task, how to implement timeout, or reclaim thread.

Round 2: System coding 2 [Last week of January]
Implement reader writer lock. Various cases and how to handle that. Didn't go well so had to give a redo.

Round 3: System coding 3 (redo) [Second week of February]
Memory allocation problem. Implement a thread safe - Car and Truck parking system in a 1-D array where each car takes 1 unit space and a truck takes 2 unit space.

Round 4: DSA [First week of March]
Leetcode problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/count-lattice-points-inside-a-circle/description/
With strict constraints. Number of circles can be 1e3 and 0 <= X, Y <= 1e5

Round 5: HLD [Second week of March]
Count the highest occurring word in a github across all repository. Infra given is set of VMs and you can run any piece of code on those VMs.

Round 6: Hiring manager round [Third week of March]
Resume discussion and situational questions.

Verdict: Rejected [Mid April]
Recruiter stated the HM said no due to the less depth in problems I have solved and they don't match to rubrik complexity level. Other techinical rounds went well and had positive feedback.

Update: Added timeline
PS: The recruiter hinted to take rounds as soon as possible as role gets filled quickly but I wasn't prepared so I took time before each round.
