Round 4: Google Meet Interview with Manager – 10 yrs experience: 60 min

I had given 4 rounds of Zomato Interviews and was fortunate to clear it, I will write about the same soon. While this was happening I got a call for Round 4.

• These were system design kind of questions.
• [{URL, latitude, longitude, score (1-10)}] A dynamic data structure design was expected

Input – top left lat-long, bottom right lat-long

Output – top ten rated articles

I tried to give a map of map questions with latitude and longitude approximated containers based on how the data is. The interviewer seemed not so happy with it but appreciated the approach.

• You have an API. There are two functions: onNewReq(), getTotalCallsIn5Mins(), and design it. I improvised until I had a circular array of size 300 and an index pointer. I felt the interviewer expected more.
• Questions on Computer networks were asked here. I was asked the standard Media.net question, what happens when you type www.google.com

Result: In the end, the interviewer said I was good at solving DSA, and CS Core subjects but lacked projects using Data structures in large-scale applications. He also hinted by saying I would do better elsewhere but not in Media.net right now.

Verdict: I was not called for the HR round. The day was a roller coaster experience for me and I was completely exhausted with all the interviews. I was happy with Zomato but not with how the Media.net Interview went. I was happy with the journey from not getting a good Internship opportunity during my 3rd year but working my way through positively in this recession.

Note: They did ask resume before the contest and also considered your CP profile ratings etc., I gave my Leetcode ratings, Codechef and Codeforces ratings.

Solve Leetcode or GFG consistently and give as many weekly contests as possible.

Media.net visited our campus placements with 3 Rounds of interviews.
