I\'ve used leetcode to check out interview questions, so I decide to wrtie a post about my experience. Hope it helps to shed some insights on the interview process.\n\nFrom reaching out to me to scheduling the interviews regarding the role, there were about 4 recruiters involved...Some took parental leave, other just passes me around. Initially the recruiters scheduled me for SDE2, but the last recruiter scheduled me for SDE1. I\'d say if you have a preference to be interviewed for SDE2, make it a case. I was a bit passive here. Also recruiters from about 7 different teams reached out to me (Email, AngelList, LinkedIn). So it seems that they really are hiring.\n\nDate: July 2021\n1 OA: Recursion problem of medium dificulty. I\'ve not seen the question on Leetcode but it\'s easy/medium. You also write a few sentences describing your solution and its complexity.\n\nVirtual Onsite:\n3 rounds LP (~20 minutes) with questions (~25 minutes): Word Search II, Merge N sorted list, TikTacToe.\n1 round with pure LP.\n\nI did not have optimum working solutions for Word Search II, Merge N sorted list. It was not required to run it so I was tell more telling the interviewers what I think. For merging n sorted list I struggled to find optimum solution even with hint, but I discussed a few options about why some solutions wouldn\'t work. Looking back, I\'d fresh up my knowledge on the pros/cons of different data structures, and their suitable applications, to make my thought process more clear.\n\nI later learned that the bar raiser wanted me to be on his team. I probably did well with LP with a good attitude, that\'s why i passed, despite my bad leetcode skills (checked 138 problems, acceptance rate 38%, lol). And the bar raiser catched on the first project I mentioned for LP, instead of asking the \'tell me about a time when ...\' question. So make sure you start the conversation with your strongest example/topic.\n\nTo prep for LP I read through the list of LP, and wrote down one example for each. I spent a few days understanding the meanings of each LP, and then wrote the examples a day or two before the onsite.\n\nI\'d say to ppl with limited leetcode skills to not give up. Spend the time to understand the problem/solution and focus on the process of coming up of a solution, instead of the end result.\n\nTC 207k (Bay Area, so it\'s lower in other cities).
