SDE-2 Backend Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day.

Interviewer asked one leetcode medium question, 1 hard question. I was able to code up first one perfectly. Second one I arrived at the algorithm quite quickly. Coded that up, but one of the test case failed. She switched to a design question. While discussing the design, she automatically started laying out the answers. Please know the difference when a candidate is thinking out loud vs when he requires help. I interrupted her politely for this. She ended the interview immediately, never heard back from them after that. I'm glad I did not end up with teammates who can't handle feedback.

Questions
