One task for writing api for money transfer. Future candidates- pls keep away from such companies who first give you take home assignments. Rarely you will make it. Simple reason - you never know what kind of code reviewer will be reviewing your code. He may just not be that knowledgeable and will just reject your code. And the expectation for is huge. You have to write lots of test cases. I mean why ? Why do you expect people to put in effort without giving them a chance to explain the code and discuss about it. Absolutely ridiculous!! What kind of logic is this to reject candidate because one one method was long. I mean Seriouslyyy!!! For the code reviewers - get a life. Its all a whitewash there . Future candidates - dont waste your time here
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write api for money transfer between bank accounts
HR -> Live coding -> Tech -> System design
Overall the before starting the recruitment process it's worth mastering concurrency, DB(especially PostgresSQL), and transaction management. Company seems to be working mostly with Java, Kotlin and a little with Scala
I got contacted by a recruiter. As a first step, I had a call with another recruiter. He was also asking technical questions, but it felt strange. (A bit like talking to a wall.)
I was rejected with a generic message stating that I was not "aligned with the position". This is weird as it was inbound and based on my profile. No feedback, of course.
Waste of time.
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
