****** A bad interviewer can RUIN your potential careera at a tech Giant. ***** - First Assessmet for System Design recomendations evaluations: - Then a second interview (tech screening interview. ) started with Role overview. My background. Coding test (find out the second smallest and second largest number in the given very large array). Discussion around the Software design approach where a transaction processing system is being built. How would you handle the load during events like christmas. What is event-driven-architecture ? How it could help in the scenario with the online shop software? How would you make sure that the catalog having only one item left to be ordered is ordered by one person, and at the same time not accept the same item's order from a differnt person (or same person again). Bascially updating and managing the state of the items in an ecomerece website. How would you avoid having a single point of failure? Then, discussion went into the adding Queuing capability into one of the services. What is high cohession? Why is low coupling helpful and how is that achieved? We further discussed the Microservices and containerised approach for architectural discussions. How the low cohesion helps in the microservices architecture ? What are the pros and cons of using Microservices architecture? How many ways the microservices may communicate with each other? Why would you choose a Micrososervices, vs VM deployment, vs the serverless? Why and when would you use the lambda functions? Authentication vs Authorisation? How can you make sure the least previlage principle? What is RBAC ? How it could be implemented? Have you heard of the SOLID principles? What dependecy inversion is ? What is inversion of control ? Should a class have only one responsibility as per SOLID principles, so what about the functions in a class ? What is TDD ? What SOLID principle adheres to unit testing? What is mocking ? What SOLID principle are advocating for mocking during unit testing ? Then interviewer asked me about the Databses that I worked, then he went onto asking question about documents based database, how the retrieval happens. then what if the hashing mechanism have duplicates (keys) ? Interviewed changed the gears and then moved on to the scenario based questions where they epxect you to answer a STAR based answers. Tell me a difficult situation during a project work ? Tell me a situation where you were unable to deliver ? Then interviewer gave me a chance to ask any question. I asked how does the team works and responsibilities of individual team members. Moreover, whats the next process? Any more techncial rounds ?
