Process

I applied online. The process took four weeks.

It was definitely not difficult, and I think my interviewing experience might be different compared to others. I had four rounds of coding interviews and one round of System Design, with no behavioral round. I think as long as you understand the fundamentals of DSA, you will be fine in the interviews.

Questions

I don't remember the specific design, but I do remember that I had to talk about designing a large-scale data workflow and ensure it could process multiple database transactions at scale.

Leetcodes included Trapping Rain Water and reverse linked list as a subproblem. My advice is to know your DSA well. Even fundamentals are still okay as long as you explain your reasoning well.
