I applied online. I interviewed at SigNoz (New Delhi)
Interview
The interview process went smoothly and was well planned. Found the complexity to be slightly on the higher side as the interview was more focused on manipulating large amounts of data on the frontend but it made sense given the company's domain.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Considering you have file that contains various file paths as comma delimited strings as input.
Example -
```
a,b,c,d,e,g
a,d,f,e,r
b,t,y,a,r
```
Each line represents a path. Assume that there is folder b and d inside a and then folders are further nested inside both b and d too.
The task is to prepare a UI where we should have a dropdown listing down the first level of folders and as you make a selection, more dropdowns should appear to choose the folders from available options at each nested level. This should happen really efficiently with zero lag.
These strings can have millions of values with billions of such strings.
