I was approached by a recruiter on Linked about an opportunity for backend dev at Simpl.
I shared my resume and then I got call from a lady that my profile has been shortlisted.
She mailed me job description and a backend assignment. I have to code for Backend of Simpl Pay Later Application.
1st round - After I have completed my assignment, recruiter scheduled my interview and then I was cross questioned based on my implementation.
2nd round - This was a system design round, I was asked to design Uber System.
3rd round - Problem solving and CS fundamental, From here onwards my HR comes into picture.
Quest 1 :- you are given an array in which ">" indicates vehicle going in right "<" indicates vehicle going in left.
[>><>><] = 6 collison
[<>><] = 2 collison
Quest 2 : Create a largest number from numbers in a given array.....[3, 30, 34, 9, 5] = 9534330
CS Fundamental Questions were related to OS...like Thread, goroutine, concurrency, how requests from our browser are served by www and few question on http protocol and its component.
Fourth Round - Manager Round -- Here comes the twist HR told me this is a salary discussion round and it will be taken by manager, but interviewer told me he is a senior engineer, again he started asking CS Fundamental Question.Like how from frontend to backend comes, how we feed our request, he asked about downstream, I answered that at my company we are using SFDC and Mulesoft, then he started digging into it like what call we made to SFDC, I answered like GRPC asynchronous, but he is like I am not satisfied with your answer. He was wasting my time.
It is right that I don't know everything and thats why I agreed to an opportunity inorder to learn more and earn more.
Summary: If you have good time to spent then go and give interview but at the end result will depend on interviewer not on how interview went.
I have seen Simpl low rating on play store and and glassdoor despite went for interview and wasted my 20 days in interviewing at Simpl.
Interview started on 22nd Dec 2021 and went till 12th Jan 2021.
