Coding Round
I was asked to implement a custom Set class with the following methods:
void set(int value, long timestamp);
void get(int value);
The problem involved designing a Set data structure that supports storing values along with timestamps and retrieving values based on the current time. The interviewer expected me to clarify the requirements, consider how timestamps affect the validity of stored values, and implement an efficient solution.
The discussion also involved choosing appropriate data structures, handling edge cases, and analyzing the time and space complexity of the operations.
Leadership Principles Round
I was asked three behavioral questions based on my previous work experience:
Tell me about a time you took ownership of something outside your regular responsibilities and delivered results.
Tell me about a time you identified and solved a customer's problem.
Tell me about a time you introduced a new metric to measure or improve something.
The interviewer was interested in understanding my individual contributions, the challenges I faced, the decisions I made, and the impact of my work.
Overall, the interview focused on data structure implementation, problem-solving, ownership, customer obsession, and using measurable results to drive improvements.
