Process
The process was the usual three stages for a software engineering role:
- Recruiter call
- Phone interview (a fairly straightforward, non-LeetCode question)
- Full-day virtual onsite, consisting of:
- Another non-LeetCode question (pretty straightforward)
- System design
- Bug squash (they provide a codebase and you find the bug)
- "Integration" (basically another non-LeetCode question, but done via a web API)
- Manager round
Most of the rounds went pretty well, but one of them went pretty badly. It seems like they ghosted me afterward.
Questions
Phone interview: How do you build an "accept-language" parser with region/language/wildcard filtering?
