February 1, 2024
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Online assessment, followed by a phone screen with another engineer, then a 4 1-hour interview loop over the course of one day. Pretty standard stuff.

Messed up the Logic & Maintainability portion, but overall a good experience.

Questions

Interviews varied, but generally included:

  • Medium difficulty LeetCode-style questions (e.g., zigzag traversal of a binary tree, minimum number of machines to optimize task completion).
  • Standard system design questions (e.g., designing a parking garage, a sample AWS feature).
  • Object-Oriented Design (OOD) questions, which involved designing a Reddit-style comment thread.
