I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Agoda (Bangkok) in Oct 2024
Interview
This is the second round interview which was about Systems Design and Architecture. The interviewer provided a brief self-intro and asked about myself. Shortly after the intro, I was presented with a problem statement, which we discussed in detail. I proceeded to come up with solutions to the same. It was not a generic system designs problem, but a problem statement whose solution was what they were building. The interviewer provided inputs when necessary during the interview. Overall, it was a very intellectual exchange of ideas between the two of us.

Question 1
Design a solution to sync two separate and different databases but similar data. Constraint is that, both DBs are continuously updated by some services.
The process was quick.
1. Aptitude
2. Technical round
Although the interviewer was a bit cocky. He changed the first question mid way and wasted my time and then couldnt answer the third question correctly himself which was an “on the spot” follow up to the second question.

Question 1
Asked me a chemical formula problem where I needed to calculate the atomic weight of the given equation. Which the interviewer changed mid way as he realised I might have known the solution to the question in advance.
Then they asked me a printing press question. How many books can be printed by a machine with limited page printing capacity in a given time frame.
