J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez slice en févr. 2022
Entretien
I applied for the Backend Engineer role (SDE 1) in Feb 2021.
Round 1
I was asked 2 questions, one was to find the intersection point of a Linked List, another was stock exchange problem.
Round 2, was given a DFS problem to find out number of teams in a company given the work relationship of employees. I find this a little hard to do quickly unless rote-learnt the solution before.
Verdict - rejected
I was given a feedback that I gave unoptimised solution for the stock exchange problem and took long time to do the DFS problem.
What I find very unusual and irritating is the interviewer in the first round didn't gave me the opportunity to optimise my initial solution and just told me the solution as soon as I was done with my initial approach of solving the problem.
Advice
Interview questions were standard, I would advice to prepare interviewBit questions and "by-heart" the solutions since interviewers were expecting a magic in your first attempt of solving the problem.

Entretien
The recruiter reached out to me pretty quickly after I was referred at Slice and was very enthusiastic in giving an overall picture of what is being currently done, even from the technical perspective. After an initial interaction, I was informed about number of rounds in the process and what all the rounds were going to be about, the same was conveyed through a mail. There was maximum flexibility on offer regarding when these rounds were supposed to be scheduled. Recruiting team makes you feel comfortable and provides good feedback on how the rounds went about. The interviewers showed utmost respect throughout the process and provided inputs towards taking you to the solution of the question, if need be, at times
