Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months.
First round was LeetCode for 1 hour, got 2 easy questions. Then final round has 2 LeetCode sessions, 1 system design, and 1 LLD session. Each session also has leadership principles.
- LeetCode questions were easy-medium.
- Leadership principles were hard.
- I had an issue with screen sharing; it wasted 10-15 min during the first round of interview.
Questions
LeetCode - array and string questions, easy and medium level.
