Process

This is the best interview I have ever had. The recruiters were also nice and hard-working (they even replied to my email around midnight).

There were two rounds of phone interviews. The questions were not difficult, one related to hashmaps and one to dynamic programming.

Onsites included five rounds:

  • Four coding rounds
  • One PhD research discussion

The coding rounds covered data structure design (heap), dynamic programming, and system design questions (distributed/parallel processing, workload balancing).
