Recently interviewed with Wish. Had a great overall experience while interviewing with the team but eventually got a rejection which I expected since I bombed one of the coding rounds. I'm not going to give the exact questions since I have signed NDA.

Interview Experience:
Phone Screen: Started with a simple Palindrome question (leetcode easy, I solved it in 5-10 mins) and then extended the same (leetcode medium). Solved both of them with good amount of time left and interview ended in about 50 mins.

Got a call for a virtual onsite interview. Typical rounds. 4 interviews-2 coding, 1 architectural design with HM, 1 behavioral with DOE.
Interview 1 (Coding): Implement meeting scheduler. Implemented this one but it took me the whole hour.

Interview 2 (Coding): (Leetcode medium) Graph related question. I messed up this one, started with non-optimized solution but when I tried optimizing, one of the test cases didn't run.

Interview 3 (Director of Engineering): Typical Behavioral stuff. I want to say that I did great in this interview.

Interview 4 (Hiring Manager): The HM gave me some requirements and initial DB tables and from there on, he kept on extending the requirements. Asked me to define APIs, how I will extend/add DB tables, and at the end, asked me to write code for one of the scenarios. Again, I think I answered all the questions and did great in this interview.

After couple of days, I got the call from the recruiter telling me that they are moving forward with other candidates and asked me to reach out again after 6 months if I'm still looking. I kinda expected.

Overall Experience: Everyone whom I got to meet virtually were really friendly and helped me when I got stuck. I will give full marks to my interview experience.
