KolPosted Aug 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a multi-round interview that blended coding, system-level technical questions, and database theory.

The early rounds covered some C basics and programming concepts, then the technical portion moved into OS territory.

In that deeper technical interview, I remember being asked OS-specific questions with kernel-related details—like how printf works from a kernel-level perspective—which felt like a step up from typical interview questions. After that, the conversation shifted into database design topics: how a relational database differs from other models, what normalization is, and the related concepts around it. I also had to handle an SQL query as part of the technical set.
