Process
The initial interview involved a cache problem. The onsite consists of four back-to-back interviews, all coding. Mostly LeetCode hard.
One of my worst interview experiences. The interviewers were typing on their laptops, not listening to what I was coming up with as the solution, which was very annoying and distracting.
Questions
LRU Cache problem, first round. LeetCode hard, second round.
