Applied via Linkedin easy apply. Got a call from recruiter after approx 2 months in jan and scheduled interviews in february.
Note: Almost all questions asked are on leetcode and tagged with linkedin. Id strongly advise getting premium and practicising tagged questions.
Phone Screen : [1Hr]
After formal introductions the interview started with some CS fundamental questions from networking, OS like threads vs process, tcp vs udp etc
After that I was asked two DSA questions of LC medium level from trees and dp.
On the next day recruiter reached out telling the round was cleared and wanted availaiblity for on-sites
Round 1: DSA [1hr]
Two question were asked one however I do not remember them. Both were of Medium difficulty.
Round went very well
Round 2: DSA [1hr]
In this round also there were 2 questions of medium difficulty however had a bad experience since the interviewer couldnt explain the question well and didnt answer my clarifying questions satisfactorily and i ran out of time while implementing the second question.
Round 3: HLD [1hr]
I was asked to design a Key Value Store where an interface was given to me which could append something to a file, get bytes from an offset from a file and create a file. Initially was asked to design a single machine kv store but later we discussed about making it distributed and sharded. Round went well.
Round 4: Concurrency [1hr]
In this one was asked to design a Delayed Scheduler.
So expectation was to given the logic and also give code for it, similar to what we do in DSA interviews. This is a standard Linkedin Concurrency round question however followups were hard.
Round 5: HM [1hr]
Had a discussion around the past projects of past companies. For one of the projects was made to deep dive. Also some behavioural questions were asked
I was asked to give another dsa round where i was asked 2 medium difficulty questions.
