Thought I'd share my interview experience at Amazon recently. - 4 rounds in total, an hour each - each round had about 30 mins of LPs - 1 system design - 1 OOP design - 2 coding rounds - coding questions were LC mediums I'd say I liked the overall experience, esp the design rounds that went into depth. I am uncertain which of these was the bar raiser interview though.
He went into Blitz. Bar raiser is any person who’s not from that org.
for design interviews, did they stop you a lot and ask questions? or do they just let you flow like other companies?
The mid way interruptions are supposed to give direction to the design process.
What does LP mean?
Leadership principles?
Me too want to know LP and LC
LC == leet code
30 minutes of leadership principles in every interview? WTF 😳
Haha that's true
For design, did you have a famalier problem or something out of the blue?
Op which team did your interview for ?
Bar Raiser would be 5th 1 if you are interviewing for SDE2 and above.
Not necessarily true since I didn't find anything special about the last round interview. Also in a batch interview process I would assume most of interviewers just round Robin.
BR usually don't happen on batch interview process. People having at least 2 inclined will get to BR
