Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

November 18, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  • Phone Screen
  • Onsite

1 Algo, 1 System Design, and 2 Behavioral interviews.

The interview was generally okay until I was asked the 2D version of the prefix sum problem. I have controversial opinions on algorithm questions that do nothing by way of testing actual problem-solving skills over memorization.

Questions

  • Easy LeetCode on phone screen
  • Onsite
  • LeetCode prefix sum and then a follow-up with the 2-D version of the problem
  • Design an API to manage notifications in-app
  • Work in an existing codebase
