have virtual onsite interview next week for nyc location, software engineer role, 6 yoe. 2 1hr, 2 45 min and 1 30min interview scheduled. what areas should i focus for prep? sharing any recent interview exp there is appreciated. Thanks.
Depends on level. Is it associate or VP level? Also, your recruiter should give some pointers on what each of the interviews will be focusing on.
For me (2 YoE), I had 2 coding, 1 design, 1 SDLC and 1 coding + hiring manager round.
For my YoE, it wasn't a typical design round. It was more like explain current project architecture, how would you make it more scalable, 1 question related to distributed database, concepts like shards/load balancing etc.
SDLC round was general exposure and experience with SDLC processes and tools.
HM round was 1 coding problem, current project experience and details about project/team at GS.
You should ask your recruiter on what each round will be focusing on.

Recruiter didn’t say which level. How were the design, sdlc and hiring mngr round for you, what type of questions did they ask?
