Process

Typical online assessment:

  • Two coding questions
  • Work style assessment
  • Work simulation
  • System design (this was supposed to be for SDE2)

I was told that I passed the assessment but could not proceed further because I did not have enough proven work experience for system design.

The recruiter ignored my emails. A week later, another recruiter contacted me and offered to take my application and continue the process for SDE1 instead.

Then onsite:

  • Four interviews
    • One on leadership principles
    • Three on coding and also on LP

The questions were medium-level LeetCode. I actually enjoyed solving the problems because I felt they were somehow practical and involved some OO design.
