I had a video call on Zoom. It was scheduled for 45 minutes but it lasted for only 20 minutes.
I was asked about four questions, and was told to answer them all together. It would have been better if I was asked one question at a time instead. It was unreasonable to expect me to remember an unknown number of questions.
At the end of the call, I was told to that I would be moved to the next round in the interview. Two days later, however, I received a rejection email.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Describe the tree and stack data structures? What is a SQL join?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smarking in Apr 2022
Interview
The interviewer greeted me with a good blend of enthusiasm. The collaboration experience was extraordinary. The engineer was very helpful and provided plenty of experience in big data. After the meeting, I did feel the company was one of those rare gems I will hear more about in the future.
I hardly noticed the hard-hitting interview questions as the engineer was very fluid in making it into a fun session to nerd out.
Definitely do your research prior to arriving. Going into it I had the impression I read the company was synonymously making the parking payment systems but I was way wrong. The team is much more serious about their contribution to helping decongest the parking real estate in urban settings. The perspective I've taken from it in my own words, they are civil engineers in data science.

Question 1
Hard to remember but I was asked all the hard-hitting questions but it was so fluidly orchestrated I lost track of time. Learn your stacks, queues, data structures, databases, maybe compilers and data science to spark a conversation.
Didn’t really ask me anything technical or anything perilous about tech. Just told me about the company and the role and then asked me my salary requirements. Received a email the next day saying it wasn’t a good fit
