Athena health ATMS role interview experience

Will be joining browserstack for a L3 role frontend, please share anything that would help me there.

I received an offer from both companies around the same pay 40 lpa. I am confused between choosing the right one. I am married with a kid. Looking for a balanced work like culture. If you have an opinion please do share.

How's the work culture, learnings and growth?

The interview was face to face. I was told explicitly that it'd be a hands on coding round. DSA and screening round was already completed. The guy who came to the interview basically had the same level of experience as mine. First, he asked me about if I've worked on microservices architecture. I said I have and mentioned details about a few projects. Then, he told me: Since you've worked on AWS heavily, do you know the default timeout of a lambda? Told him, I don't remember exactly and gave him a wild guess. It was too wild it seems. My bad, should've just not spoken. I accept my mistake. Then he asked, what are the different services that can invoke a lambda. I mentioned sqs, sns, cloudwatch, dynamo db streams, etc. He's like, what specifically from a microservices perspective. I repeated SQS, SNS mainly. He's like, Lambda can be also invoked by other Lambdas which is what I was expecting you to answer. Great. Shouldn't have asked an open ended question if he was looking for exact answers, right ? Then a few other questions that I was able to generally respond, but maybe not with the level of exactitude that he was expecting. Then, he asked me to code up a few endpoints related to followers, following, posts and wall. I told him that in the interest of time, I'm trying to get the endpoints working instead of focussing on design and he said sure go ahead. I was genuinely under the impression that he wants to see if I know how to code, but he was testing my system design skills. He was obviously not happy seeing me cut corners. At the end during discussion he said you could've done correctly in a certain way. I said yes - It's obvious that it was the right way, but I only compromised on the design thinking you wanted to see my ability to actually understand the framework related stuff. Interviews can be a bitch !

I recently interviewed at a startup for a Backend role. I cleared the initial take-home assignment round and subsequent DSA round and their HR told me the third round would be a Design round. I prepared accordingly. At the time of the interview, no one showed up. I had to wait for 15 minutes for someone to show up. Instead of asking me a Design question, the latecomer asked me another DSA question. I asked him why is he doing that as it was clearly communicated to be a Design round. The interviewer said Design would be asked in the next round if I clear this one. Weird! He only gave me 10 minutes to come up with the solution. After that he spilled the answer, and cut the call abruptly. I get a rejection email the next day. Now why am I writing this post? Because I just saw the CTO of thar company rant on Linkedin about how his candidates declined their offer letters at the last minute. The moral of the story is that if you misbehave with your candidates, they will misbehave with you. So be prepared to take the L.

Hi guys Have Uber interviews lined up this week for the DS position in the CAS team. Did any one of you attended the process recently ? If you could describe your interview process and type of questions asked that would be great Cheers

Which company did you have the worst interview experience with?

I just solved their 2 hour coding challenge in 30 minutes. What do you guys think ?
