Software Engineer L3 Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months.
Technical round 1: I was asked a simple array question, then how to optimise it, how to code it in Python, what a generator is, and how to use yield to flatten the iterator of an array. The follow-up was a deeply nested array and how to flatten it. I used DFS, and then the interviewer asked how to use yield and a generator to solve this question.
