      Technical Director Interview

      24 Nov 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      Declined offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kickdrum (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      The process was very professional and conducted very well. It starts with an online test consisting of problem solving and SQL questions. Following that there were three rounds with the India team ranging from technical basics (JAVA, Data structures & Algos, SQL) , architecture and solutioning of applications to people management and leadership skills. Once you clear these rounds you have multiple interviews with the Principals of the company (based out of US). I had four calls with four different principals which focused on technical details, problem solving, AWS knowledge, leadership & people skills. I thoroughly enjoyed the process as it was very professionally done and I was able to learn a lot about where I stand as well.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      You are given a stream of numbers and you need to compute the median after every number. Whats the approach
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Find the second highest value in a table using SQL
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Why use an index, overhead of an index, typical implementation of an index. If I have an index on columns a, c and another one on c,a does it make sense and how would each one be used?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      They give a popular application like AirBnB and ask you to solution it from website to the backend. How do you scale it and ensure that its fault tolerant as well as HA. Lot of emphasis on AWS stack and knowledge of AWS components to achieve HA and fault tolerance
      Answer question

      Question 5

      Problem solving skills where you are given a puzzle to solve. The emphasis is on how you approach the problem and not on the solution. They want to see how the candidate approaches any problem.
