Answer 1

Round1: Problem Solving

 

If we have something like a org tree of a company where we have tree like structure 
which represents the total number of employees directly reporting to him and then 
if we scroll further each branch further expands to the employees reporting to the 
current employee and so on. Question was to find the total number of direct repotees 
of a given manager. (Not the total employees under him but the direct ones)

 

Round2: LLD

 

It starts with a small problem round which was extended to mould into something 
like API designing. Things which will come up are -
How to take complex inputs, read the JSON objects, necessary checks to make sure your 
input won't bring down your APIs and solve the actual problem. This was further extended 
to more like a LLD design problem where I had to introduce design pattern to solve it.

 

Round 3: System Design

 

design something like a analytical system which take input from other services
and prepares a performance matrix of the system. We need to consider that we are 
getting constant stream of input from various channels and this matrix is supposed 
to give almost real time results.

 

Round 4: System Design

 

Newsfeed system design for systems like feedly

 

Design rounds are very open ended. Lot of cross questions are asked.
Things like why/which databases. All design choices are questioned.

 

At this point in time I was told that the feedback for the design rounds are not positive.
They offered to reasses me through one more design round.
