SDE 1 Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a college or university. The process took two days.

There was one online assessment, which was on the HackerRank platform, I guess, and it was very hard. There were three interview rounds that were moderate. One round was on coding questions, and the other two rounds were on system design questions.

Questions

The online assessment was very hard. I just got one question right out of three, and only 9 out of 10 test cases passed. The first round of the interview had two medium-level LeetCode questions: one based on trees and the other on heaps. The second and third rounds were similar system design rounds, in which I had no prior experience. Though, it was discussional, and I was able to think out loud and crack it. They were on designing an e-commerce platform and a gaming leaderboard, with one in each round.
