Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Phone screen followed by an on-site with 4 interviews.

  • 2 algorithmic
  • 1 systems
  • 1 OO
  • 1 behavioral

Interviews were conducted back-to-back, each taking 45 minutes. I was contacted several days later and declined, which I anticipated due to my poor performance on the systems design, and that the interview was for a senior position.

Questions

I was asked to design a system to construct a TV channel guide from a database filled with movies and episodes.
