Round 2:
F2F, 1 coding question (Permutations - Leetcode), Behavioural Questions.
Round 3:
F2F, 1 coding question (ZigZag traversal in Binary Tree both recursive and iterative way). Questions on load balancing techniques, scaling etc.
Round 4:
F2F, 1 coding questions, Check if binary tree is subtree on another, LLD parking lot
Round 5 (HM):
Hiring Manager Round, 1 coding question (Word Ladder-2) only apporach, coding not required. Behavioural Questions.
All rounds went well. Whole process took around 25 days. HR came back with the feedback that I don't have experience in cloud so they want to offer L60. I rejected as I was prepared for SDE 2 and even Hiring Manager didn't asked any system design questions. They were only judging based on past experience. I haven't worked in cloud yet, but this is a total time waste. When they only want to judge by past experience then they should inform beforehand. It will save time and all the efforts.
