GitHub Sr Software Engineer interview questions

The interview process was long but I got to know some very cool people. Expect Racism if you find a south Indian and he takes on North Indian in an interview. Round 1: Coding round. typical Hard backtracking question. Round 2: System Design, hard, cannot be found on the internet. Round 3: Diversity and inclusion Round 4: wrap up the Hiring manager Round 5: Behavioral Round 6: HR wrap up I got rejected due to Racism in typical Indian sense the same way I have seen a few places in India. Did not expected racism from such a good company. I cleared all technical rounds, the HR gave feedback that feedback was SUPERB. Thereafter, was behavioral, diversity, and hiring manager round. All rounds went well except Hiring manager, I answered all the questions right. But I got the gut feeling that he somehow wants me to fail this round. But I managed to ace all his questions. I was expecting to get an offer since I cleared all-round technical rounds with a SUPERB feedback. But as per typical Indian racism, South-Indians don't like North Indians much, and I had bad luck there. The hiring manager was south-Indian. After a long and flawless experience, I get feedback that they cannot go further because the hiring manager thought I was good for lower grades but not for seniors. So they cannot offer me a job. I did not expect a technical feedback after already getting a SUPERB feedback. In fact, some of the HLD concepts, I had to teach to the hiring manager when he was taking the interview.

The first step was a nice, casual chat with a recruiter for about 30 minutes, mostly to level-set and make sure that I fit the job requirements on paper. That went well, so I got to speak to the hiring manager for about 45 minutes and get more technical. That was followed by a take-home coding challenge of (what I would consider) medium difficulty. After that, I had multiple hours of interviews with people from different roles and departments on two separate days. Each session gave me ample time to ask my own questions and all the people I spoke with were extremely kind and respectful, while asking questions that were always fair and relevant (even if they were challenging at times).
