Process

OA, a few months later, I received a loop invite.

The loop was three hours long.

  • First interview: behavioral + 1 LeetCode question.
  • Second interview: behavioral + system design.
  • Third interview: 2 LeetCode questions (one medium, one hard).

The second and third interviewers were nice, but the first was very disinterested and didn't want me to explain my approach or code.

Questions

Design a client/server proxy interface.
