Applied via Linkedin easy apply. Got a call from recruiter after approx 2 months in jan and scheduled interviews in february.
Note: Almost all questions asked are on leetcode and tagged with linkedin. Id strongly advise getting premium and practicising tagged questions.
Phone Screen : [1Hr]
After formal introductions the interview started with some CS fundamental questions from networking, OS like threads vs process, tcp vs udp etc
After that I was asked two DSA questions of LC medium level from trees and dp.
On the next day recruiter reached out telling the round was cleared and wanted availaiblity for on-sites Round 1: DSA [1hr]
Two question were asked one however I do not remember them. Both were of Medium difficulty.
Round went very wellRound 2: DSA [1hr]
In this round also there were 2 questions of medium difficulty however had a bad experience since the interviewer couldnt explain the question well and didnt answer my clarifying questions satisfactorily and i ran out of time while implementing the second question.Round 3: HLD [1hr]
I was asked to design a Key Value Store where an interface was given to me which could append something to a file, get bytes from an offset from a file and create a file. Initially was asked to design a single machine kv store but later we discussed about making it distributed and sharded. Round went well.Round 4: Concurrency [1hr]
In this one was asked to design a Delayed Scheduler.
So expectation was to given the logic and also give code for it, similar to what we do in DSA interviews. This is a standard Linkedin Concurrency round question however followups were hard.Round 5: HM [1hr]
Had a discussion around the past projects of past companies. For one of the projects was made to deep dive. Also some behavioural questions were askedI was asked to give another dsa round where i was asked 2 medium difficulty questions.
