Process
- Automated recruiting message on LinkedIn posing as their CEO
- Straightforward coding interview
- 4 interviews in a day:
- Topgrading interview (threat of reference check, full history from the day you were born, etc.)
- System design interview (design our product)
- Another straightforward coding interview but I was worn out so it felt harder
- Behavioral interview
Two of the interviewers got pinged during the interview and had to work on something else while I just kinda hung out.
They wanted a reference from every job I've ever had and they wanted me to do a third coding interview so I called things off.
Questions
Design a system to ingest news articles (with images), store them somewhere, and let users query them.
