Interview Questions

Exponent - "This is another Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know. Recall the formula for Fermi problems: Ask clarifying questions Catalog what you know Make equation(s) Think about edge cases to add to equation **Breakdown components of your"See full answer

Vishal T. - "Go has simpler syntax than Java. It is light weight. It is not Object Oriented. It does not support function overloading and function overriding. But these are small technical differences. Both are similar when it comes to testing. You have to create a mock object and implement an interface. Functionally, I did not feel any major difference."See full answer

Sam A. - "The distribution of daily search queries per user, as shown in the histogram, can be described as approximately normal (or bell-shaped) with a slight positive skew. Key Characteristics: Shape: The distribution is roughly symmetrical around its center, resembling a bell curve. This indicates that most users perform a moderate number of daily search queries. Central Tendency: The peak of the distribution, representing the highest density of users, appears to be around **8"See full answer

Anubhav A. - "Start at 4.01 pm Clarifying question: A non-profit food bank is responsible for providing food to people who cannot afford it. The food bank is engaged with world-level food problems, or is there a particular geography that gets all the focus? Are we interested in particular demographics like only kids or only adults?

Exponent - "You should be able to easily identify this as a Measure Success question. These kinds of questions are used to test your analytical skills, as well as your ability to track project progress post-launch. Recall the strategy for tackling them methodically and thoroughly: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature / product Behavior Mapping / UX Flow Mapping Provide criteria to prioritize metrics Prioritize metrics Summarize Let's begin!

PTL - "Clarify the default pick up location/pin feature - I'm assuming it lets you define a location in settings that is used for pickups unless you over ride it. this is a rider feature. It is not used by the driver to specify where they want to pick up riders Feature goal Make it simpler for the user to book a ride as they no longer need to type in an address when going to the default location User Journey assuming they have already set the default location they open the app cl"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Design a Product question. For this, we'll want to follow the formula for success: Ask clarifying questions Identify user types, behaviors, and pain points State the goal and use cases List current solutions Improvements / net new solutions Evaluate and select solutions Measure Success Summarize Ask clarifying questions It's important to get clarity on anything if things are unclear. Since this ask is quite straightforward"See full answer

Mourya C. - "I try to solve this initially using quick select where will take a pivot element and position the remaining elements and check if the current index is answer or not and continue the same but it requires o(n*n), but interviewee is expecting the best from me, so at the end i tried solving using heaps where will check the difference between k and n-k to use min or max heap after that we will heap the array, and will keep popping the element k-1 and return the peek one which leads to answer."See full answer

Shahid K. - "Asked clarifying questions, this was similar to box. Took a minute to gather thoughts. Came up with a structured approach. Focused on use cases, prioritized it. They wanted to focus on security aspects, MFA, simultaneous read/write operations, etc."See full answer
