Process

Karat interview (tech screen)

Honestly, I don't like Karat, but this interview was a LeetCode medium-level coding challenge, and some generic tech questions like how I would scale a system, etc.

Onsite:

  • 1 coding round
  • 1 OOP
  • 1 system design
  • 1 behavioral

Questions

How to find if a string contains a palindrome

Design a parking lot (OOP)

Design SquareSpace (Systems Design)

Behavioral questions where standard "tell me a time when..."
