      Interview

      1. Interview with a member walking through resume, technologies used, why used Kafka for this usecase , how does horizontal autoscaling work etc. Good experience. 2. Pair Programming - Fix a buggy program and write a testcase to detect cycle in a graph. Went well, collaborative. 3. Interview with Hiring manager and another member - Similar to first interview - walking through existing product, various technologies used. Interview was scheduled for 45 mins, the interviewer asked me to design Uber when 10 mins was left without whiteboard or tools. Ended up 20 mins overtime. 4. Interview with 2 team members - One person did not show up and the other interviewer asked system design questions, spent 10 mins talking about why github forking should be reserved for open source projects when I mentioned forking is my preference. Asked me to write code for summing up numbers in an array when 5 mins was left - again no hackerrank or tool. Had to write it in zoom. Went 15 mins overtime.
