Junior Backend Developer Interview Experience - Portugal
Process
The interview process was three-phased:
- System Design
- Live Coding
- Behavioral Interview
The material I received before the first interview was a collection of Google system design interview videos, which bore no resemblance to the actual interview I experienced.
After the live coding round, I was advised to read the "Cracking the Coding Interview" book, and then I was ghosted.
Questions
Design a system for a submission API.
