I had two phone interviews. The first was with HR, but they also asked technical questions. Following that, I completed a code assignment. The second interview was a technical one with a senior engineer.

When preparing, it's beneficial to have a foundational understanding of various topics, including Linux commands, bit manipulation, and acronyms.

I found the interview experiences shared on Glassdoor helpful during my preparation as well.

The recruiter was great. There was a significant gap between the first and second interviews, so they scheduled a catch-up meeting before the second one.

I only remember the easy ones

• How would you improve Yelp?
• Why do you want to work here?
• What does HTTP stand for?
• What's the kill code on Linux?
• In memory, what's the difference between a primitive and an object?
• What's a way to set up a large database to find things quickly?
• What's the difference between a hashtable and a hashmap?
• Find the equilibrium index.
