Gainsight Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started with an online coding test that had 15 MCQs and 3 coding questions. I managed to solve 2 out of 3 coding questions, even though one was worth more marks and I couldn't finish it in time. After that, I had two technical discussion rounds. The first one was an hour long and involved 2 medium and 1 hard DSA question, similar to what you find on LeetCode. The second technical round was a bit longer, about 1 hour 20 minutes. I had to write an API to get data from a database and show the results, using Javascript (NodeJS). We also discussed things like async programming, request/response objects, ORMs, databases, and different types of APIs. This round ended with a quick 10-question DB query session. Then there was a hiring manager round that lasted 45 minutes, where they asked about my past projects and then gave me a simple coding question that required using classes and objects. The final round was the HR round, which was mostly about the company. They gave me an overview and asked why I wanted to switch, why Gainsight, and about my background. After about two weeks, I received the offer.

The interview process was pretty simple with 2 Technical Rounds and 1 Technical and MR round. Firstly, Special Thanks to Ramya (HR) who made my queries clear though I didn't get an Offer. The first 2 rounds, really want to thank the interviewers who made me comfortable. 1st round focused on Javascript mostly in-depth like closures, Given a problem of the tree-hierarchy to solve, Hoisting, Promises, etc. 2nd Round mostly on framework related, Events, Event Propagation, etc. I have qualified for both rounds. The disaster was R3 which is both technical and MR. I don't know why DS will be asked in R3 which Candidate will be in trans of asking some high-level questions. The interviewer was really confused and confused me as well, I don't know what he wanted from me. He asked me about component structure, One simple DS question which I didn't get optimised way, Though I have a brute force approach.

Got a call from HR who set up the first round interview. The interviewer focused mostly on JavaScript and Angular, and the session lasted for about an hour and a half. The next day, a second round was scheduled. This one was for an hour and covered the internal workings of Angular components.
