I am currently in loop of E5 role; wanted to know people's opinions.

Current Company: Mid Tier
College: Tier1

Phone Screen:

1 Medium - Random Sampling
1 Hard - Backtracking

Was able to solve both; recieved feedback for 2 that I was not able to finish a dry run.

Onsite:

Round 1 (Coding):
Q1. BFS ( Medium ) - Asked lots of follow ups answered it.
Q2: Pre Order Traversal ( iterative) - Asked lot of follow ups and it was a desgin question. I answered complexity from tree prespective; then answerd for each function.
Self Assessment: Strong Hire

Round 2 (Coding):

  1. BST ( took more than expected time; as interviewer did change the inputs and had lot of questions around the input. Interviewer wanted to go with a specific strategy in his mind. As a result, more than 20 minutes were gone.
  2. Stack based : Provide two ( one with and one without stack) approaches and complexity. I could not finish the code. I missed it by 4 lines. Inteviewer is said it is fine; you will eventually finish it.

Self Assessment: Lean Hire/ Hire; I think I was able to give enough pointers around problem solving,communication and dry run. Missed on coding front for one question.

All coding questions from top 100/150 tagged from last 6 months. Make sure you cover basics first medium then move to hard. One thing that I would have done while preparation.

Round 3 (Behavioral):
I think this went good. I was able to answer all followups except one during the end. I could not provide impact in one of the situation clearly with respect to customer; as there was no such impact.
Self Assessment: Hire/ Strong Hire

Round 4 (Product design)
Scheduled for last week of august; this was rescheduled from this week to last week of august.

What do you think of my chances if I am really finish product design on high end?

Update:

My packet is being sent to review committee and recuriter is asking for some internal references.

Does anybody has idea about it?

P.S:
Please ask me if you have any questions.
