Process

I applied online in December and received a phone interview in January. Two questions were asked during the interview.

The first question was similar to the "Decode Ways" problem on LeetCode. The second question was about designing a system related to phone numbers and its scale. Several functions needed to be designed, such as checking if a phone number was already taken.

Overall, the interviewer was nice.

Questions

Decode ways on LeetCode.

A message containing letters from A-Z is being encoded to numbers from 1-26. Determine the total number of ways to decode a given message.

Build a system related to phone numbers. How to design and scale the system.
