1st, screen with recruiter, general background talk 2nd screen, simple coding 3rd onsite, 4 rounds : they paid for hotel and flight

• background talk : past experiences, They are interested in AWS experiences I have.
• system design: file transfer system, agent on separate machines where the data stores are, distributed system. Some edge cases like if the remote machines are not reachable etc.
• coding, 2sum, another hard problem I don't remember
• culture fit: regular talk about past experiences with different team leads (backend and frontend teams), leadership questions.

generally the questions are easy. I figured out all people are nice and they actually want you succeed. You don't need to prepare a lot of LeetCode.

I have 8+ experiences as software engineer but I got sde2 offer. The salary is between 120k - 150k in total. It is too low to me. I actually ended up finding a job with salary 300k+ and still growing due to stock growth. and higher title.

During the interview at LA office, I figured out there are some people like to stay there for longer time (8+) years, but some younger people actually do not stay that long. I guess it is due to low salary. Those young people felt not that energetic compared to others in big names.

I wouldn't recommend this company to any ambitious young people.
