The interview was 3+ hours in total.
It consisted of three parts:
Passing the coding portion, which focused heavily on systems design, required 100%. Familiarity and speed were important.
The knowledge check was easy.
The games, based on what I heard, were not as critical for a Software Engineer role.
There was a coding question about shopping queues in a mall. You had to keep track of multiple queues, recording when people left the queue, when people dropped something off their bag in the middle of the queue, etc.
You could process the queues either by moving each forward by one or processing a certain number of them in one queue. Essentially a systems design question involving multiple queues with some constraints.
Not too bad, but a bit lengthy.
