I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HungerStation (Dubai) in Feb 2023
Interview
It was technical interview but interviewer was focused on database questions. However, position is for software engineer. No algorithms. No system design. Only database optimization questions. Interviewer was not interested and sound really boring. Weird interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was technical interview but interviewer was focused on database questions. So the 1) first question is how to analyze the sql query and get some information about query efficiency. 2) The second question was about creating an index to high load database.
Four step process starting with:
1- HR screening:
General information about me and my experince
2- Live Coding
develop a function and db indexing questions
3- System design
Generic system design quertions including my background
4- VP interview
asked about SOLID and Testing
Get a call from HR which was very good. Engineers are very nice as well. But upper managements(C level and directors) are very bad to be honest.
Unfortunately, not saying truth what happened in the interview is somehow not good in my opinion.
