Applications Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
2 coding rounds (easy LeetCode) 1 behavioral round 2 system design + integration rounds
The coding rounds were much easier than the design and integration rounds. I couldn’t find much info online about what the integration round looks like, and it was indeed tricky. Interviewers kept on asking design details. Make sure you understand the core components for a system.
Questions
Message queue and authorization/authentication knowledge.
How would you design xxx?
How would you integrate two systems?
