Interview Questions

Alan T. - "I want to work at Meta because of its reputation as a company that consistently pushes the boundaries of technology, particularly in areas like AI, machine learning, and immersive technologies such as AR and VR. I admire Meta's mission to bring people closer together and create meaningful connections, as well as its focus on long-term innovation, such as the development of the metaverse. As an AI engineer, I'm excited about the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that have a global impa"See full answer

RestlessMonk - "I prefer to build a team of complementary skills than being skewed on one aspect. And generally avoid an all rockstar team. Technically, this means we will have atleast one rockstar for one skill and it is acceptable if that rockstar is just an avg performer on other skills Which person gets indexed more on which skill is a time to time exercise depending on needs of the org, product charter and career aspirations of the person."See full answer

RestlessMonk - "My style of inspiring / discovery sessions / brainstorming / execution guidance / upskiling the team has always been Outcome driven. Outcomes always took the central focus of our efforts, and hence easier prioritisation and a clarity on why a decision failed or succeeded. I take personal responsibility to help the teams to define outcomes if it is a complicated charter and for most help them fine tune the outcomes to keep them simple, progressive and aspirational."See full answer

RestlessMonk - "Below data was given in a an excel. Data of 6 weeks, at a weekly level of COVID samples collected and tested Age Group, Population size, # tested, # positive, gender My approach: Tried to understand the trend of positivity rate of each group across weeks and cumulative level There is no variation across weeks, and each cohort exhibited similar pattern in all the weeks. So looked at cumulative data of 6 weeks. No clear goal/objective set by the interviewer for vaccine distributio"See full answer

Adaneir W. - "Time taken: 25 minutes My approach: I would start by listing the use cases, what could be the length of cable needed, quantifying each and weight average those. The % make the assumption that it is what it represents the share in the total nb of iphone recharges. In fact total should be more than 100% because it not exclusive but for sake of simplicity let’s say it tops at 100%. \# In details: charging next to bed: 50%generally speaking there is a bedside table that is 80 cm high and the"See full answer

Stanley Y. - "First of all, stack and heap memory are abstraction on top of the hardware by the compiler. The hardware is not aware of stack and heap memory. There is only a single piece of memory that a program has access to. The compiler creates the concepts of stack and heap memory to run the programs efficiently. Programs use stack memory to store local variables and a few important register values such as frame pointer and return address for program counter. This makes it easier for the compiler to gene"See full answer

Jennifer C. - "Reproduce the bug, read error messages, isolate the problem, use a debugger, check assumptions, review recent changes, consult documentation, Text Edge Cases, take break"See full answer

Alex M. - "A red-black tree is a self-balancing binary search tree. The motivation for this is that the benefits of O(logN) search, insertion, and deletion that a binary tree provides us will disappear if we let the tree get too "imbalanced" (e.g. there are too many nodes on one side of the tree or some branches have a depth that is way out of proportion to the average branch depth). This imbalance will occur if we don't adjust the tree after inserting or deleting nodes, hence our need for self-balancing c"See full answer

Nathan B. - "Within a longer string, I'm guessing? There should be more detail. One should generally use a stack for palindrome problems, though"See full answer

Weida H. - "filter function usually exists in some high level programming that adopt FP paradigm. It taks a sequence of items and a predicate function, and returns (conceptually) a subset of the items that satisfy the predicate. Adopt this kind of operation (filter, map, reduce, take, pairwise ...) can help writting cleaner code, and reduce the usage of mutable part in the program, lower the possibility of making human mistake. Take Python for example (although const-ness is not exists in Python), assu"See full answer
