I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at AppsFlyer (Herzliya) in Jan 2021
Interview
The process was:
1. Phone Interview
2. Technical Interview (Zoom) – Coding
3. Technical Interview (Zoom) – Architecture & Design
4. HR Interview
5. Interview with VP R&D
I initially wasn't going to interview, but I'm really happy I did. Everyone I spoke to was kind, smart, and cared about learning and growing their engineers.
Given a system (service, DB, MessageQueue), scale it. This was a very rigorous systems question, diving into:
1. scaling server access, by load balancing, sharding
2. caching, and discussions of consistent hashing for scaling caches
3. DB – how can you make fast reads, if writes are fast? Multiple replicas of the DB
4. Why would you use one queueing system over another? (Kafka vs RabbitMQ)
I had an interview with a software engineer we discussed about my background and the job and then I explained him about project I did in my last job and that it and the code interview
