Full Experience
What is Beli
For the newcomers, Beli is an app that allows you to rank restaurants and share your rankking with your friends. It also allows you to track for open reservations for bookmarked restaurants. Think of it like a snapchat for restaurants, but no ads and app is free to use.Beli has openings for SWE roles in NYC and it's a Series A company.The process
First you have to take an OA in coderpad screen. No time limit, but you have to do the OA by yourself.You're tested on your Python, TypeScript, HTML/CSS fundamentals. 37 questions were asked, so quite a bitQuestions are multiple choice, select all that apply or coding style.Coding questions were on the easier side and all test cases were provided. The editor doesn't let you add your own test cases unfortunately, but try to write readable code for the most part.I would say some of the HTML/CSS questions were lowkey trivia. For example, you're expected to know "what's the default style for a<p> element in HTML" when in practice, you'd actually google that.I luckily was able to advance to the next round with a few questions wrong. You receive your scorecard after completion of the OA and I heard about the outcome via automated email 10-15 minutes later.Interview Questions (1)
