Process
Virtual onsite over 2 days. Medium to hard LeetCode, one system design, one hiring manager round. Expected to code a real-time polling application in 1 hour and expected to write too much verbose code.
Questions
General hiring manager questions.
System design questions commonly asked.
Non-LC coding questions testing real coding experience. You need to keep answering out loud and come up with test cases. One more on the caching side, similar to Redis, and another question on API invocation/real-time implementation.
