I am in Oregon
Prepare for the lowball
I got zero leetcode questions FWIW. They mostly asked me questions relating to scaling and algorithms to optimize time complexity.
How many rounds? Any system design?
I'm frontend-focused, so not as much in the way of system design. There was one phone interview, then a day's worth of onsite with 6 different people. It took a while, but one of the easier onsites I've done.
Negotiate your salary, I’m am 100% certain that you will be lowballed.
I did not negotiate and ended up a very high offer. I just told them how much I'm looking for and that was pretty much it.
During my technical interviews i just got a basic question about system design and developing a product. The second tech interview was just a high level discussion of my resume. Not much reason to leetcode here, they aren’t heavy into those types of questions.
Thanks. How many rounds in total? When did you interview?
I interviewed a year and 1/2 ago. I had 2 job fits(technical), 1 case study, 1 behavioral, 1 lunch round
Thanks. What can you expect from Case study interview round?
It’s a applied problem that may or may not involve some code. Mine involved getting a stream of data and being able to mask certain characters given a business use case. I had to pick what to mask and explain why.
Thank you
Thanks all. Mine got rescheduled and now a virtual because of this coronavirus thing..
Update: I got an email from recruiter that multiple teams are interested in me. Now I need to choose a team from that list. Any compensation estimate? It's Senior Software Engineer - SA role at Chicago. Thanks.
