Just attempted Navan OA. Read on glassdoor their interview process they asked egregiously difficult question given their pay band. The OA is 2 hours long. 2 leetcode in Java and 1 SQL question. Recruiter told me 1000/1350 is all you need to go to the next stage. 600 - first leetcode question (graph - medium hard) 300 - second leetcode question (string - easy-medium) 450 - sql question Like many CS grads I did take a relational database class in college. The SQL question was not a sanity check to test if you can think relationally. In my opinion it's in the territory of a data analysis role. It was frustrating because it's not mysql. Figured out it's SQL Server (asked ChatGPT after OA but the OA does not tell you which SQL). I found this part to be very unfair since developers don't really go that deep into SQL for their day to day job. Realized I was far away from getting partial credits. I think the Leetcode questions are fair game since Leetcoding is so common in the industry. I would say the graph question was a real head scratcher. Stop taking the OA seriously since I realize I was not going to make it to the 1000/1350 threshold. Also, given their pay vs my current pay and their 4 days in the office it's not worth my time (I'm two days in the office).
