Full Experience
I am currently working at a product based company with around 2.5 years of experience.
At Motive, the interview process begins with a conversation with the Hiring Manager, which is different from many other companies. If the Hiring Manager is satisfied, the candidate then proceeds to the coding rounds.
Round 1 : Hiring Manager (1 hr) The interview began with a discussion about my professional background and the nature of the work I’ve been involved in. The Hiring Manager was interested in understanding my experience, the projects I've worked on, and the technologies I've used.
After getting a sense of my profile, he provided an overview of Motive,the products they build, and the kind of technical challenges they tackle.
Following this, he asked me to design a High-Level Design (HLD) for a Search Autocomplete feature.
Received a rejection mail after 3 days. Was not provided any feedback.
