Coding Behavioral Technical System Design
First, there was a HackerRank coding test focusing on multithreading. After that, I had a phone screen with the recruiter where they asked some basic questions. The next step was a technical call with a software engineer. This engineer's focus was on whether you could design and explain the implementation of an online storage system. It was quite conceptual, and they expected a deep understanding, even though the job posting only mentioned needing Java and Python developers and didn't specify requirements like cloud computing knowledge.

Coding System Design Behavioral
The interview was tough. It included 2 LeetCode medium questions, one focusing on dynamic programming and the other on greedy algorithms, both taken directly from LeetCode without any modifications. A system design question was also asked. The process consisted of 3 rounds: two technical interviews and one behavioral interview. The behavioral round was quite easy, featuring some simple puzzles and questions about my past experiences.
Confirmed questions4 questions

Technical Coding
I had an interview with an Egnyte Engineer. I felt this engineer was less experienced and didn't seem to have a deep understanding of Java. The coding question was about finding the power of a number, which I found a bit unusual for someone with more experience. Then there was a multithreaded question, but the problem statement was confusing. I wasn't sure if they were looking for synchronization issues or something else.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- What is the approach to find the power of a number?
- Can you explain a multithreaded scenario?
