Process
Here's a breakdown of my interview process:
- 20-minute talk with HR covering general questions.
- 45-minute coding interview with two engineers, featuring two algorithm questions.
- Onsite (conducted online) with four interviews: two coding, one behavioral, and one system design.
I had prepared extensively, completing numerous mock system design interviews and solving a large number of algorithm problems, which left me feeling very confident.
