J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez X en nov. 2021
Entretien
The interview process was pretty smooth.
1) Had an initial phone interview that lasted an hour.
2) I subsequently had a 30min call with the engineering manager. He was very pleasant.
3) I then had a virtual onsite with 3 rounds.
- Coding round: A simple problem that i was able to solve quickly. They then built on this problem. I was able to explain my approach for the solution and started implementing it (It was obvious that one couldn't achieve the solution in 15mins).
- Design round: This round went well too. I was able to communicate and explain my design. I walked them through the different reasoning for the design chosen. I involved them throughout the different choices made.
- Topgrading round: Discussion with the manager about past roles held.
I was not offered the position citing that i needed prompting in the coding round and that my system design needed more work.
This was one of my best performances in a coding interview and i did not need any prompting. Its unfortunate that such an observation/comment was made.
I can accept the feedback on my system design and can definitely work on it.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Practice Leetcode medium questions for coding and Grokking for system-design.
The process quite unique compared to other process. it is combination of coding algorithms and understanding the platform. The technical round requires me to build a project from scratch within 45 mins

asked to solve 2 problems, sudoku challenged and build something similar to spotify playlist
First HR call, seems like a very good match with the position, then 60 mins phone screen interview with a pretty standard leetcode medium question, bug free and had good feedback from the interviewer, then the next day received a moving forward email with no surprise, totally waste of time.

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez X en août 2022
Entretien
HR screen, standard coding interview. Moved on to the final round. The interviewers could not have been nicer, for the coding or the system design round. The final behavioral management interview was alright as well - they really dig into your past. What annoyed me the most is the recruiter ghosting me. I understand not getting the role, some explanation of why or closing out the loop seems the least courteous thing someone could do. I do not like the whole "let's prep you for the final round of interviews, and make a great candidate experience" schtick, and then proceed to ghost the candidate. Really, a large pool of candidates is fantastic for the company, but I would not imagine anybody would like to simply be left in the dark after preparing for weeks and weeks to hear nothing. Super disappointed more than anything.
