Interview process

A lot of focus spent in every round on LP questions. Make sure to have sufficient stories, sometimes they plan to ask two, but end up asking a third one.

    Final / onsite round

    1. Q1. Find the maximum subarray sum.
    2. Q2. Design Ticketmaster
    3. Q3. Design a key-value store.
    4. Q4. Find the k-th smallest and k-th largest element in a binary search tree (BST).

Tips from the candidate

Study leetcode and system design. Prepare at least 10 stories that can fit into the LP questions. Some of the LP can be reused if they are a different part of the story.

Company culture

Most of the team had been at the company for a significant time, 5+ years which was appealing to me.
