Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online, and the process took four weeks.

  • Round 0 - Recruiter call or screening call: The recruiter was friendly and clearly explained the company, role, and team. They asked me to tell them about myself, followed by a recent project experience.
  • Round 1 - Technical coding 1 (1 hr): A graph-based question was asked in two parts. It was not a direct LeetCode question, but I had to take an example myself and write the class and methods.
  • Round 2 - Behavioral interview with the Engineering Manager (1 hr): We introduced each other and talked about the team and the responsibilities of the role. Then she asked about my experience, such as a challenging project, conflict, and things that I learned from my current experience that I hadn't before. There were some follow-up questions about the project experience and so on. This interview went well. I stumbled on a few questions, but overall it was a good experience. The Engineering Manager was so cool that she was talking and having a conversation rather than firing questions back-to-back.
  • Round 3 - Technical coding 2 (1 hr): This was a more real-world-based question with three parts. The first two parts were to design the required classes and methods involving a shipping yard, containers, buyers, and sellers. The third part was to implement an algorithm to match the bidding between buyers and sellers and conduct the transaction.
