Process

I had phone calls with the recruiter first.

Then, I had three rounds of interviews, which took place separately and one by one. You could only schedule the next interview after passing the current one.

The first interview was coding, with two questions. The second interview was system design. The third interview was a mix.

Questions

Topics include:

  • Coding
  • System design
  • Object-Oriented Design (OOD)
  • Background projects
