Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 8 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) nel mese di ago 2019
Colloquio
The interview process was really smooth. After the onsite, I got positive reviews but there were some headcount issues so the recruiter matched me with a different team, I had 2 technical rounds with the new team and got the offer. A special shoutout to my recruiter Jonathan DeLauri for making the process easier.
At first, I had a telephonic interview with the hiring manager. It was basically a culture fit check and some design discussions. In second round, there was a hackerrank test. After passing the test, I was invited for onsite where I had 5 rounds of interviews with different people. All rounds were a mix of technical and behavior. I got a response that there is a headcount issue and recruiter matched me with a different team. I gave two video rounds with new team and finally got the offer after 2 days.
The technical interview was much tougher than I anticipated. I faced a DSA question related to word searches that required optimizing a brute-force approach with a Trie. It was intense, but the practice I’d done on PracHub the week before really helped solidify my understanding of the problem-solving techniques. The behavioral round felt lighter, focusing on teamwork and project experience. After a couple of days, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Word Search II - given an m x n board of characters and a list of words, return all words that can be formed from sequentially adjacent cells; had to optimize the brute-force backtracking with a Trie to pass the time limit
The interview process started with an online coding assessment that included DSA and problem-solving questions. After clearing the test, I had two technical interview rounds focused on data structures, OOPs concepts, DBMS, and project discussion. The final round was with the hiring manager where they asked about teamwork, problem solving, and career goals. The interviewers were professional and the process was smooth overall.
Went through 3 rounds. First round was a technical interview - it was a take home assessment. I didn't pass the test cases but still went through to the next round. The onsite had 1 behavioral, 1 system design, and 1 technical Leetcode style interview. It was in person on a whiteboard.
