4,002 reliability interview questions shared by candidates

Three questions were asked - 1) Fizzball (but with LinkedIn). Given an integer 1 to n, print "Linked" if divisible by 4 and "In" if divisible by 6 and "LinkedIn" if divisible by 4 and 6. Print the integer if it doesn't meet any of the above criteria. 2) Recursive API question. It's easy but tricky given the exam conditions. You are given an employee API URL to GET the names of an employee reporting structure. The JSON response returns the employee some othet key-value paor and the reports under the employee. The key here is to recognize the need to use recursion. At the very least mention it so they are aware you know what to do even if you don't get it completely correct. 3) You are given some logs with timestamp, process ids, log statement . You need to parse the the log file and print out in two columns the time stamp and the number of times the same process (or thereabout) shows up in the same time stamp (in order words column A has the time stamp, column B has the count). I think this needed to be outputted in CSV or something, but interviewer mentioned it didn't really matter. Hope this helps someone ace their next interview with them. Goodluck!
