Process
-
Requested report from CodeSignal, first time got Level 7 and got the interview.
-
One round virtual technical interview via Karat. 45 minutes total with 20 minutes system design and 25 minutes coding. There was an option for a redo, and I did it. Next time, the system design changed to CS knowledge questions (OOP, SQL, network, security). I really don't know why they ask system design questions for new grads.
Questions
-
System Design: When designing a Google Docs app, given a load balancer with randomHash(n)/100, discuss its performance as the system scales.
-
System Design: Given three app ideas, discuss whether strong consistency or eventual consistency is better.
-
Coding: Given a list of intervals representing the busy times of n people, return a list of intervals when these n people are available for a meeting. Time is represented in 24-hour format (e.g., 12:00 becomes 1200, 0:00 becomes 0000).
