I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at PolicyAdvisor
Interview
I had 3 interview rounds in total. The first round was a technical discussion focused on past experience, problem-solving approach, and understanding of backend development concepts. The second round included a coding exercise along with deeper technical discussions around implementation decisions, APIs, and system behavior. The final round was focused on database design for a feature, where the discussion covered schema design, and handling relationships/data flow. Overall, the process was structured and technically focused.
