I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Hopper
Interview
This is a role for their corporate travel product. Had a call with the recruiter who asked me to describe my experience, in which I described large backend initiatives I’ve delivered, then he proceeded to ask me if I had any backend experience. I didn’t follow up after that call because the recruiter was not friendly and did not present the company in a good way by having zero knowledge of backend while trying to recruit for backend.

Question 1
Q: How did you resolve the hackerRanck problem and why?
Ok initial interview with recruiter. seemed friendly enough. engineering manager was not very friendly, didn't ask a lot about background more so wanted to jump to technical question. question was on recursively finding all possible paths from two places given multiple locations.
* Phone screen. I enjoyed talking to the recruiter very much. They clearly elaborated on the open position and shared many details about the teams and the company. Later on, that recruiter did a great job keeping me posted. * Hiring manager round + coding. Mainly we talked about my past experience, achievements, and challenging tasks I worked on. There was a medium LC problem at the end of the round (it was about calculating the stock price) * Another coding interview. I was given an LC-medium problem that I had to solve in 45 minutes. The problem was quite straightforward, but the follow-up questions were quite hard. * System design stage. I was asked to design a part of the Hopper functionality. Unfortunately, I couldn't narrow down the limitations and constraints, so I performed poorly during this stage. However, overall I enjoyed talking to different people at Hopper. Communication was nice and thorough. At the end of the interview process, I had a quick call with the Sr. Engineering Manager, where they provided quite detailed feedback regarding my interview performance and pointed out to the areas requiring improvement.
