Browserstack - Backend Intern
Interview Process
Technical assessment
This round mainly tested my core engineering and CS fundamentals. Topics included:
Computer Networks OOPS concepts Pseudocode Cloud technologies Databases Other fundamental concepts
The questions were designed to check clarity of basics and problem-solving ability.
Machine Coding
In this 2-hour hands-on coding round, I was given a problem statement to implement in front of the invigilator.
Task: Build a log monitoring system (similar to the tail -f command in Linux).
Key Constraints:
No external packages allowed Page should reload only once, then auto-update without refreshing Solution should scale to petabytes of data Could ask clarifying questions during the round
This round was challenging because it not only tested coding but also scalability thinking and real-world system design approach.
Managerial + Hr round
This was a mix of technical depth and behavioral evaluation.
Began with a self-introduction
Discussion on my internship experience – problems I solved, how I approached them, and my learning
Follow-up questions on Node.js and system design
Wrapped up with behavioral and situational questions to evaluate communication, cultural fit, and teamwork
Detailed Experience & Tips
The BrowserStack interview process was thorough, challenging, and well-structured. Each round had a clear objective:
Round 1 (Technical Assessment): Tested my fundamentals. Round 2 (Machine Coding): Evaluated my real-world coding and scalability mindset. Round 3 (Managerial + HR): Checked technical depth, communication, and cultural alignment.
What stood out to me was the balance between technical evaluation and personal fit. It wasn’t just about coding, but also about how I approach problems, design solutions, and collaborate with others.
👉 If you are preparing for BrowserStack interviews, my advice would be:
Strengthen your basics (networks, OOPS, databases, cloud). Practice coding with constraints and think about scalability. Be ready to discuss past projects or internships in depth. Prepare for behavioral questions , they matter as much as technical ones.
