Process
After applying online, I heard back from HR to schedule a telephonic interview.
The first interview was an algorithmic interview, lasting 30 minutes.
After a couple of weeks, the next round was scheduled. It lasted longer, featuring one algorithmic problem followed by one system design problem.
Questions
Trailing zeroes in the factorial of a number. LRU cache. System Design.
