Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
Two OA + 1 Final Round Zoom Interview
OA1: Two easy/medium LeetCode questions to be solved in 70 minutes.
OA2: Workplace simulation primarily with multiple-choice and some debugging multiple-choice questions. Focus on aligning to LPs.
Final Round Interview: 45 minutes - 15 minutes behavioral with a focus on LPs and 30 minutes coding.
Questions
OA1 questions can be found online. They are random.
Final round interview questions can be varied and found online (LeetCode Premium, etc.). However, I did not get one found on the list, and it stumped me. I had to implement a Sandbox class for a hypothetical AWS Lambda team, coding the constructor, add, and put functions based on various criteria. The question was most similar to implementing an LRU cache.
