Process

I applied through an employee in late December, and here's how the process went:

  • Online Assessment: Received an OA a week later with two coding problems, similar to one easy and one hard LeetCode.

First Interview (Jan 2025): Had my first interview about a month later with a Senior SDE. We introduced ourselves, talked about my past projects, and I solved a medium LeetCode problem on arrays.

Second Interview (March 2025): A month later, I had a technical interview with an SDE + shadow. I solved two medium problems: one on arrays with customized binary search, and another on binary trees. I struggled at first with the second problem but communicated my thought process and solved it with a bit of help.

Final Interview (next day): Had a behavioral interview with a Senior SDE. We talked about my projects in detail, and I answered 3-4 LP questions using the STAR method.

Additional notes:

  • Interviewers were friendly and made things feel casual.
  • Be ready to explain how data structures work and provide time/space complexity.
  • Always ask questions at the end; it's an excellent way to learn more about the team and company.
