Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
There were 5 steps of interviews, which were not hard. Mostly the same questions given here are asked. I dropped out after the 4th "Product" interview. They started a deep dive on the system design before I finished mine.
Questions
2nd Step Technical: Implement a rate limiter for multiple services.
3rd Step System Design: Design a system where 24h money transfers are aggregated and shown on a public dashboard. (I used Flink but they asked me not to use any framework)
4th Step Product:
- Tell me about a production bug that you introduced and how did you handle it?
- Were you in a case where you had to convince a product manager about not implementing a feature?
