First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at highlevel.
Software Engineer
This round was supposed to be about LLD and machine coding, but they spent a good chunk of time on HLD, like 30-40 mins. The interviewer seemed stuck on one specific solution and wasn't really open to other ideas. I managed to write a full working code with good design patterns and a clean structure in about 20 minutes. When asked about scaling for millions of requests, I talked about ways to make it handle that load, but again, it felt like they were looking for a particular answer. The feedback said my 'basics were not clear', which was weird because it didn't match our chat. Since it was mainly an LLD round, the feedback felt off.
- Can you design a URL Shortener, covering both Low-Level Design and High-Level Design?
Software Engineer
The interview process was decent. Initially, the interviewer asked about my resume and then went deep into the technical aspects of a specific project I worked on. There were also system design questions. I got the impression that the interviewer wasn't really open to discussion or alternative solutions, but rather expected a very specific answer they had in mind.
- Tell me about your resume.
- Can you elaborate on the technical details of a project?
- What is your understanding of serverless technologies?
Software Engineer
So first I had to do this take-home assignment where I had to build an appointment booking app with MERN Stack, and it had to handle different timezones. After that, we had a technical discussion. We talked about the assignment I did, and then we went over my past experiences.
- Can you describe your previous work experience?
