Agoda·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jul 2026
Interviewed for a software engineer role at Agoda and got a classic array problem that felt straightforward until I started second-guessing myself on edge cases. Pretty standard coding round overall.
  • Given an integer array and a target value, find two distinct indices where the elements at those indices sum to the target. Return the indices, or an empty result if no such pair exists.

“I jumped straight to the hash map approach without asking about negatives or whether multiple valid answers were possible.”

Had a software engineering interview at Agoda with two pretty different questions back to back. One was a classic DP problem, the other was a probability/simulation question that threw me a bit. Nothing about the experience felt particularly warm or cold, just technical.
  • Given a triangular array where each row has one more element than the last, find the minimum path sum from the top to the bottom. At each step you can move to the element directly below or one position to the right in the next row.
  • You have a 5-sided die and a 6-sided die. Each round you roll both. The process stops when at least one die shows 1. If only the 5-sided die shows 1 it wins, if only the 6-sided shows 1 it wins, and if both show 1 it's a tie. Find the probability that the 5-sided die wins, the expected number of rounds until stopping, and implement a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate both.

“Classic DP, and I knew it was DP pretty fast.”

PM case question for Agoda, focused on diagnosing a payment reliability problem. Single question, fairly open-ended, felt more like a product analytics exercise than a classic product sense prompt.
  • You're the PM for Agoda. Failure rates are rising specifically in newer payment methods like digital wallets and UPI. How do you investigate the root cause, and what do you do about it?

“This one took me a second to orient.”

Agoda coding interview with a dynamic programming problem on triangle path sums. Pretty standard algorithmic question but still worth thinking through carefully before diving in.
  • Given a triangle represented as a 2D array, find the minimum path sum from the top to the bottom row, where at each step you can only move to adjacent numbers in the row below.

“Classic DP problem but I second-guessed myself on the adjacency definition for a bit.”

Agoda·Data Scientist·Technical Phone Screen

Jun 2026
Agoda data science or quant-adjacent interview with a probability question that also required a coding component. The problem was self-contained but had three parts, so the time pressure was real.
  • You have two dice: one with faces 1 through 5, the other with faces 1 through 6. You roll both repeatedly and stop as soon as either die shows a 1. What is the probability that the 5-sided die is the one that shows a 1 first? What is the expected number of rolls? Then implement a Monte Carlo simulation to verify.

“Three parts in one question, which I didn't love.”

Got a probability question during what felt like a technical screen for a data scientist role at Agoda. Classic geometry-of-probability problem, the kind you see in stats textbooks but somehow still trips you up under pressure.
  • Two people each arrive at a random time within a one-hour window. What is the probability that they are at the same place within 15 minutes of each other?

“I knew this problem from school but blanked on how to set it up cleanly under pressure.”

Interviewed for a PM role at Agoda and got hit with a classic estimation question. Pretty standard stuff but I fumbled the structure a bit.
  • How many tennis balls can fit in an airplane?

“Classic estimation case.”

PM strategy round at Agoda, one question about growing Uber's revenue. Pretty open-ended, the kind of case that looks straightforward until you're actually in it.
  • You're a PM at Uber. How would you go about increasing revenue for the company?

“I went straight to the obvious stuff, rides and surge pricing, and kind of forgot that Uber has like five different business lines now.”

Agoda software engineer interview that threw a probability puzzle at me. Not the LeetCode grind I was expecting, more of a math/reasoning problem that felt like it came out of nowhere.
  • Two people each arrive at a random time within a one-hour window. They meet only if their arrival times are within 15 minutes of each other. What is the probability they actually meet?

“I froze for a bit because I kept trying to think of it as a discrete problem.”

May 2026
Product sense round at Agoda for a PM role. Single case question about whether to build a subscription product, pretty open-ended and I had to structure it myself from scratch.
  • Should Agoda launch a subscription service called 'Agoda Prime'?

“This one sprawled on me.”
