The interview process consisted of five rounds. The first round was a System Design interview where I was asked to design a TypeAhead (autocomplete) system. The discussion focused on scalability, data structures, ranking of suggestions, and handling large-scale traffic.
There were two DSA rounds covering standard LeetCode-style problems. The questions were based on Linked Lists, Breadth-First Search (BFS), and the Celebrity Problem. The interviewers mainly evaluated problem-solving skills, approach, optimization, and code quality.
The next round focused on past experience, where I walked through my resume, discussed some of the projects I had worked on, and explained the most challenging technical problems I had encountered and how I solved them.
The final round was with the Hiring Manager. It was a conversational discussion covering my background, career aspirations, team fit, and motivation for exploring the opportunity. Overall, the process was straightforward and focused on both technical competence and prior experience.
