Singed NDA, so cannot give specific questions:

Recruiter reached over to me over my email account(probably from their user database),

My YOE: 11 years
Phone screen for SDE3:
30 mins LP, coding question: LC medium Matrix BFS

Recruiter reached out me if I am ok, they can proceed with SDE2 or interview with other teams and only if I schedule onsite,he would provide me feedback on phone screen. I agreed to just get what went wrong.

Onsite:

  • Round 1:

    • LP 30 mins : challening project ( 2 stories: 1 story from older company (he asked for more recent one) and other in my current role)
    • Coding question related to Heap LC Medium
  • Round 2:

    • LP 30 mins (Disagreement, Inadequate requirements)
    • System Design: One of the features on Amazon ecommerce site.
  • Round 3

    • LP 30 mins ( Customer obsession, Delivered wrong product)
    • Coding: BST LC medium/hard (because of space optimization)
  • Round 4

  • LP 30 mins (Out of box, Teamconflict)

  • Coding: Something like LRU cache with a variation LC medium/hard

Overall, except for Round 3, every other interviewer were friendly and feltquestions were easier than i expected.

Preparation:
LC 183/1580 Solved - Easy 64 Medium 93 Hard 26
