Question 1
Coding rounds ask standard leetcode medium questions. It helped to study the frequently asked questions. System designs were also pretty standard.
Applied online. Received a recruiter screen within two weeks covering background and role fit. Followed by a technical phone screen with coding (LeetCode medium-hard, arrays/graphs). Then a virtual onsite with 4 rounds: 2 coding, 1 ML system design (recommendation/ranking system), and 1 behavioral. Interviewers were professional and gave time to ask questions. Results communicated within a week post-onsite.
First stage was a screen round with behavioral and 2 leetcodes, one medium one hard, 15-17 min each. If selected, loop is 4-6 interviews. 2 desgin, 2 coding, 1 behavioral.
