Interview
The hiring manager and I set up an interview for a week and a half out. The day of, 5 minutes after our interview was supposed to have started, she emails me saying she is running behind and if we could reschedule. I was annoyed that my time wasn’t being treated as valuable, but I rescheduled for the following week, which was the earliest she could do. During our call, after exchanging pleasantries, she asks if I was willing to relocate to Bellevue as the SF office was no longer hiring. I responded I was not, and that essentially ended our interview. It was not specified in the application that relocation was required, and the hiring manager easily could have asked me that in one of our emails leading up to the interview. Disappointed to have my time and energy wasted. Will be taking my talent to a different company that appreciates me.

Interview
Round-0: Recruiter call or Screening call
Recruiter was friendly and clearly explained about the company, role and team. Asked to tell me about myself, then a recent project experience
Round-1: Technical coding 1 (1hr)
Graph based question asked as two parts. Not a direct question leetcode question, but had to take an example myself and write the class and methods.
Round-2: Behavioral Interview with Engineering manager (1hr)
Introduced each other, talked about team and responsibilities of the role. Then she asked about my experience like challenging project, conflict, things that I learned from current experience those I haven't before. Some follow-up question about the project experience and so on.
This interview went well. I stumbled for few questions but overall its a good experience. Engineering Manager was so cool that she was talking and having a conversation rather than firing questions back-to-back.
Round-3: Technical coding 2 (1hr)
More real world based question. Has three parts. First two parts are to design the required classes and methods involving shipping yard, containers, buyers and sellers. The third part is to implement an algorithm to match the bidding between buyer and seller and conduct the transaction.
Two rounds of leetcode questions. Asked about your experiences first and then do one of two lc questions. Easy or easy medium level. Interviewers are very friendly and not stressful interview at all.
1. self introduction
2. a leetcode style problem, need to finish coding and test cases design, the code need to be complied and run successfully
3. any questions to ask interviewer
