Process

The interview process typically involved four rounds:

  • Two coding interviews
  • One software design interview
  • One system design interview
  • One behavioral interview

The behavioral interview was also closely related to technical aspects.

The entire process took nearly three weeks. I requested two weeks for preparation after the initial screening. I scheduled interviews every other day.

Questions

I can't share exact questions here. For coding, you need to know about graphs, especially BFS and DFS, and how to apply them wisely. For software and system design, you should know the basics. Just search on YouTube; you will find enough resources.
