Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week.
It starts off with a hiring manager interview, then they schedule a LeetCode-style technical and a system design interview. Both of these are scheduled before any sort of power day. Overall, the process was smooth, but the tech screen was difficult.
Questions
They ask you to design a "CPU registration" system. Basically, it's just a 2D array where each y index represents a day, each x index represents a cluster, and each value represents how many CPUs the cluster has for that day.
Three parts:
- Part 1: Given "schedules", produce the resulting CPU count. Schedules are in the format "X day, Y cluster number, Z number of CPUs reserved".
- Part 2: Greedily count the max number of CPUs you could get across all days if you only selected one cluster. Very similar to "Best time to buy and sell stock" LeetCode Easy.
- Part 3: Same as above, but if you can only switch clusters K times. Very similar to "Best time to buy and sell stock IV" DP LeetCode Hard.
