Interview Process:

• Phone Screening
• Coding Test
• System Design + Data Structure Design

The process starts with a phone screen, followed by a coding test, then system design/data structure interviews. The culture fit round was not part of my experience.

Coding Test:

Focus on easy to medium problems. I received a "Top K Frequent Elements" question.

System Design:

Be solid on fundamental data structures (arrays, sets, queues, etc.) and study common system design scenarios like rate limiters, URL shorteners, fan-out patterns, and so on. I recommend Alex Xu's book and the hellointerview website.

Outcome:

I did not progress past the third round and did not receive feedback for the second round. It's just dumb luck most of the time. I will try again in the future.
