Besides talking to recruiter Sahib, I had four interview sessions:

• Hiring Manager: The introduction to the company and the group was very helpful, as the group is working on a new product.
• Coding: This was a LeetCode-style question. The interviewer also shared great information about the product.
• Data Science and Machine Learning: I asked many clarifying questions.
• System Design: This involved designing an internal product for product managers to review. The emphasis was on keeping the system as simple as possible. In other words, first build a simple system that works, then add a queuing server or a cache server only when necessary. I asked which component they would like me to dive deeply into. The data model! I was also asked to write SQL queries.

I enjoyed speaking to each of the five people. I'm grateful that they made an effort to provide a great experience for a candidate.

LeetCode questions, probabilities and statistics, design analytics.
