Process

I had one online phone screen, which involved merging two sorted lists.

I had one onsite with four back-to-back 45-minute interviews:

  • 3 coding
  • 1 system design

Study LeetCode Easy/Medium, and you'll be fine.

Questions

Personal Projects / School Involvement

  • All Leetcode Easy + 1 simple system design

    • Find merged linked list node
    • Design an API to copy files in a file system. How would you scale this system?
