Agoda | Staff Engineer | Gurugram
Summary
I interviewed for a Staff Engineer position at Agoda in Gurugram, which involved two rounds. The first round focused on data structures and algorithms, while the second round was a system design challenge. Unfortunately, I was rejected.
Full Experience
Round 1: Interviewer from Bangkok office. She said I seem to have worked on a lot of things as mentioned in my resume. Discussed a bit about my projects then there were popular DS questions:
- Variant of the largest greater no. on the right side in an array
- Largest substring with distinct characters
Round 2: Interviewer from Bangkok office. They conduct interviews on hackerrank. I was shared a problem statement where some images are being generated using a link that expires in 10s. I needed to analyze the design and propose as many enhancements as possible.
I failed to understand the question properly. 25 minutes had passed when I started with the solution.
Verdict: Rejected
