Process

I decided to do the phone interview onsite. The interviewer was friendly and helpful, and I solved the question fairly easily.

My onsite interview included:

  • One behavioral question
  • Three coding rounds, each with two questions. Since I completed all of them, I aced that portion.
  • One system design question.

Every coding question was a variation of something I had practiced before. The system design wasn't hard either. I got stuck on some follow-up questions, but the core of my design was fully finished at that point. Ultimately, I was rejected due to the design portion, apparently.

Interviewing here seems to be a waste of time. You can give an almost perfect interview and still get rejected. Don't waste your time here.
