First, there was a quick 15-minute HR phone call. Then, I got an invite for an in-person interview at their office. Once at the office, I had a 40-minute paper test covering system design, SQL, promises, and two LeetCode problems.

Technical Coding Behavioral
First up was a technical interview with a team lead that went for about 2 hours. We kicked things off with intros, then dove into a written test with 2 coding problems. It took around 45 minutes. After that, I reviewed my solutions with the interviewer and they threw some more technical questions my way. The second interview was the usual HR chat, right after which I had a quick chat with the VP of R&D.

- In the context of an organizational structure with a CEO at the root, identify the busiest manager, defined as the one with the largest number of direct and indirect reports. Detail your choice of database and justify it, then implement a JavaScript function to achieve this.
- Consider a system generating log records of two types, A and B. Craft a function that takes lists of these record types and outputs a list of type C records, adhering to the following criteria: join records based on module_id, construct the message for type C by concatenating the module name from type B with the message from type A, exclude any records where the level is 'warning', and ensure the final list is sorted in ascending order by time.
