I was interviewed for their Az Compute Team in Feb\'2025
Location : Noida/Bangalore/Hyderabad India

Round1 ( 1 hour) [The interviewer was a very experienced folk from their Azure teams]
1. Describe the acrchitecture of any one of your recent project.
2. Describe 1 challenge related to scalability, performance that you solved which you find worth mentioning
3. Why did you use AWS cloud in your project ?
4. How did you make sure the system works with increasing traffic. By this time a good 15-20 minutes had

passed.
5. He shared codility link ( not sure which site) for a coding question
Coding question : Given a string we need to reverse the string in 2 ways and print :
String input : "How are you"

output (1) - woH era uoy https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-words-in-a-string-iii/description/

output (2) - you are How https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-words-in-a-string-ii/description/
Basically he asked me 2 questions combined in one.
I left some silly mistakes in the code due to which it took me a lot of time to debug and fix the result. He did give me around 8 minutes extra, Still, I didn\'t get time to write solution to get the second string result.

Round 2 [The interviewer seemed to be and SDE1 or 2, didn\'t get any time for intro]

1.

Coding question : https://leetcode.com/problems/regular-expression-matching/description/
2. Give me a LLD for elevator system with N elevators and M floors. Keep your focus on the classes and their components rather than the algorithm.

Since I didn\'t answer the coding questions right in both the rounds, I didn\'t get to appear for subsequent rounds.
