Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months.
- Initial call with recruiter
- Coding round with an interviewer
- Two LeetCode mediums
- Loop: 2 coding interviews, 2 system design interviews, and 1 behavioral interview
Interviews were positive. Even when I forgot how to do KMP, the interviewer was trying to be helpful. How to prep for all those can be found all over YouTube, and it is definitely worth preparing hard for it!
Questions
There was a LeetCode question where I had to use KMP. The process also included heap and queue related questions.
