Process
The interview process consisted of 5 rounds:
- Phone interview (BQ + 1 coding question)
- Technical interview round 1 (2 coding questions)
- Technical interview round 2 (2 coding questions)
- HR round
- Engineering Manager (EM) round
The coding questions covered LRU, Meeting Rooms II, and Design Recommendation System.
While I believe I performed well, I did not receive an offer. The evaluation criteria felt unusual.
