Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Behavioral: Went okay, asked 3 big questions, and follow ups. Can't judge. System Design: Went well. Interviewer said he enjoyed the interview Coding 1: didn't do great. First problem not working solution. Second one almost working Coding 2: both problems perfectly done working solutions and edge ca...Read more

Recruiter said I did well in all categories except for design. It was an LC question with two follow ups, nothing related to system design. What could she have meant? Trying to improve before the onsite

I know most of them. I wonder if you have any hidden pearls? I remember a relatively new channel which actually dove deep into systems and many follow ups from real life and not the general usual bullshit type of system design interview. Can’t find it now. Any suggestions?
Hi, Blinders, I had FB onsite last week and today recruiter contacted me saying that my coding was extremely good but they are not able to decide the level for me and need a followup Behavioral Interview + Systems Design Interview. Now I am a bit confused:- 1) Are these rounds are only for Level a...Read more
How different are interviews at start ups compared to big tech and what should I focus more on? Leetcode, system design or something else?
I have worked previously in high-growth start-ups working on distributed systems and tech stack like javascript, node.js, golang, and Java and have an offer from Cadence. Do you recommend joining there considering it would be a C++ role?
What is the interview process at UPS for senior. NET role? Is it lc + system design or resume/experience based & .NET Qs? 13LPA@5YOE

I recently interviewed by Apple and the interviewer only asked me one system design question. The goal was to understand if I know the data structures and if can design the system. I was pretty accurate with the structure except some goof ups. Can somebody tell me if asking just one question is triv...Read more

Just finished my L4 onsite. The system design question was out of my experience and so tough I think I should start grinding educative.

My first layoff and I was notified via my payroll system ADP. People say all the time that start ups fail so I’ve always expected the worse. I’m open to any start up positions ran by leaders with humility and a genuine care for employees. God bless
