First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at FullContact.
Site Reliability Engineer
The HR team was super quick and responsive, making the whole process very efficient. It had 4 rounds: first, a video chat with the hiring manager to go over my resume. Then, I had to do this cool assignment that we then discussed on a video call. After that, there was a really good chat with the team in the US. Finally, I had a final interview with the HR team, who were awesome. If you're interviewing here, remember they care about solid fundamentals, a willingness to learn, and good problem-solving skills. Honestly, it felt more like a great conversation than an interview, which I think most people would actually enjoy.
- Can you explain the difference between Merge and Rebase?
- How would you format a log file, using any programming language?
- Could you design a system that incorporates a failsafe architecture?
Full Stack Developer
The interview had 4 rounds, mostly discussions. First was a phone screen with the team manager, where they explained the company's mission and I talked about my skills and experience. It was a friendly chat. Second, a technical interview with 4 people from the Kochi office. One asked about ReactJS and front-end stuff, another about Java and DBMS. It lasted about an hour and felt more like a discussion. The next round was with the US team, who asked about Java, MongoDB, MySQL, and some system design. This also lasted an hour and was a friendly chat. Finally, I discussed with senior management and got an offer. A box of snacks arrived two days later, which was a nice touch. The process was good, but my current company kept me, so I couldn't accept.
- Questions testing ReactJS knowledge
- Questions about optimizing MySQL queries for thousands of users and handling concurrent updates of DB by multiple threads
- Questions testing Java knowledge, like design patterns, memory model, etc.
Research Data Analyst
There was an initial phone screening, followed by a test with 2 parts. The 1st part had 5 basic questions about social media sites and attention to detail. The 2nd part had 5 questions checking internet research skills using Google. This was followed by two interview rounds with a self-introduction, some behavioral questions, and personality-related questions. The whole process seemed unfair, with candidates being rejected randomly based on gut feeling rather than performance. Engineers should stay away as they might be ridiculed for being engineers and jobless.
- Can you introduce yourself, discuss past failures, and share your hobbies and interests?
- Tell me about Yourself? Failures in Life? Hobbies and Interests?
Data Warehouse Engineer
The interview process consisted of 5 rounds in total, including 3 technical interviews, 1 coding interview, and 1 HR interview. The HR team provided excellent support throughout the entire process, from the initial screening to the offer rollout and even post-offer clarifications. It's a technology company, and the interviewers demonstrated a deep understanding of their needs, which was evident in the interview questions. There were no delays in scheduling interviews or communicating results. This organization is very professional and ethical.
- Tell me about data engineering concepts.
- What do you know about open source technologies?
