Process

The interview process was straightforward:

  • Phone screening
  • Coding interview
  • Four interviews (two coding, one behavioral, one system design)

The coding interviews were decent and not too difficult. They used a couple of tree and graph problems. They asked a lot about the time and space complexity of the code I designed.

The behavioral interview was about my past experience and how I would act in a given situation.

The system design interview was a bit more difficult. I studied for this one as it was my first time doing it, but they threw me a curveball and asked me to design a component I was not aware of from a technical standpoint.
