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
