Process

The interview process consisted of:

  • 3 coding interviews, each with 2 LeetCode problems (15-20 minutes each).
  • 1 system design interview.
  • 1 behavioral interview.

All my rounds were very simple and pretty easy. There was one question out of the 6 coding questions where the interviewer had an incredibly thick French accent. I did not understand the requirements of the question when he was clarifying, and because of this one question, I failed the interview. The recruiter said it was close, though.

Questions

Find a local minimum in an array in O(log n) time. (Ends of the array can be the minimum if they are less than their single neighbor.)

Design Ticketmaster. It should have an interface to handle many users buying tickets simultaneously. Design for just one event/ticket type first.

Design an LRU cache. It can get/set like a normal map, and then also get the last accessed element.
