The interview involved a series of challenging questions primarily focused on system design, requiring a deep understanding of architecture, scalability, and trade-offs. In addition, they asked advanced data structures and dynamic programming problems, testing both my problem-solving approach and coding efficiency. It was clear that the questions were designed to evaluate not just theoretical knowledge, but also practical application in real-world systems. Overall, it highlighted areas I need to revisit and study in more depth to strengthen both my design reasoning and DSA fundamentals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of integers arr, you can delete at most one element from the array. You need to find the maximum sum of a non-empty subarray after performing this operation (or no deletion at all).
A subarray is a contiguous subsequence of the array.
The interview process typically includes resume screening, technical assessments, coding tests, and multiple interview rounds evaluating problem-solving, technical skills, communication, and cultural fit, followed by HR discussion and final offer.
First, there was an aptitude test, then one assignment was given ...then there were two technical rounds (1 pen and paper, and the other was a tech interview), and then 1 HR round.

Question 1
the hr round was very casual, but in the tech round interview, they will ask you to write code, concepts of OOPs, SQL, testing, etc. were asked
