My onsite interview experience :

Coding round 1:
a) Rolling window subarray sum
b) Valid abbreviation
-Solved both questions with optimal time and space complexities. needed one hint on the second question for one edge case

Coding round 2:
a) List all nodes distanced by k edges from a target node in binary tree.
b) basic calculator with + and *
-Solved both questions with optimal time and space complexities covering all edge cases.

System design:
Design a simple ticket master for online event.
Solved a question as in hellointerview but at first I couldn't notice that event was online and doesn't have row and seatnumber but once interviewer pointed that I fixed my solution. overall recruiter told me that it was ok.

Behavioral round:
This round didn't went well so recruiter asked to schedule a follow up for this round. in the follow-up round I think it was ok and recruiter passed it to Candidate Review.

Today I got an email from him that after two rounds of directors review they decided not to move forward with my application. Interviewers think that I lack depth of knowledge.

I totally cannot understand what depth of knowledge they were looking for for E4 level.
