Cloudera | Software Engineer (Golang) | JULY 2024 | (ON HOLD)

Round 1 (DSA/OS/Experience)

Questions:

Candidate's Approach

I provided three different approaches to the 3Sum problem in around 35 minutes, which satisfied the interviewer. I also answered all the follow-up questions regarding data structures and database concepts effectively.

Interviewer's Feedback

The interview went perfectly, and I was informed that I answered all questions well. I received a call after 2 hours for the second round.


Round 2 (HM Round)

Questions: Given a sequence of events:

e1, e2, e3, .... [e1:k1, e2:k2, e3:k1, e4:k3, e5:k2, e6:k4, e7:k1] 3 e1 <- e3, e6, e7 e2 <- e5, e6 e4, e6

The task was to process events based on keys in the order they came, using k threads in Golang.

Candidate's Approach

I managed to code the solution with just 5 minutes remaining. The interviewer was supportive, providing hints and collaborating on the problem-solving process.

Interviewer's Feedback

The interviewer was satisfied with my performance and provided information about the team I would potentially join.


Result

I followed up with HR after 2 days, but the result was delayed multiple times. After more than a month of follow-ups, I was informed that I was put ON-HOLD and would be contacted if there were any changes.
