July 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had two coding sessions with two problems to solve, two system design sessions, and one behavioral session.

During the first coding session, I performed well. However, for the second session, I didn't clearly understand the problem and ended up solving a different one. Due to very strict timing, I didn't have a chance to solve the second problem and failed here.

For one of the system design sessions, the interviewer didn't explain one of the functional requirements well but expected me to solve it. I realized this at the end of the session and also failed due to lack of time and misunderstanding.

Questions

System design questions:

  1. Design a service to inform users about price changes of Amazon items.

  2. Design a hacker competition and ranking service like HackerRank.
