Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The process has 5 steps:

  • Recruiter screening
  • 2 Live coding interviews
  • System design
  • Behavioral

The process is not typical; the types of problems and discussions are more similar to those encountered in daily work. So far, it is the best interview I have done. The interviewers and recruiters are very friendly, and you will sometimes feel like you are working with a colleague.

Questions

I can't tell you the specific questions, but here's some advice:

  • Practice LeetCode medium and "hard" problems.
  • In system design, know the technologies you are using. For example, if you are using Kafka, understand how Kafka scales and why it's important to define a good partition key.
