Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months.
- Phone screen interview: I was asked two medium difficulty LeetCode problems.
- On-site (online) interviews: There were two more coding interviews with two medium and two hard problems, one behavioral interview, and two system design interviews.
Questions
There was a mix of medium to hard LeetCode problems, followed by commonly asked system design questions such as Ticketmaster and API design.
