Recently I interviewed for SMTS at Salesforce Hyderabad.
I was asked 2 LC hards in one round, and in next round 1 LC hard and a system design problem.

How high is the hiring bar there? Is this usual?
I was very surprised by my rounds.

    I was asked all easy coding and design for PMTS but got downgraded to LMTS at the time of offer.
    I thought they felt sympathetic because I worked at Amazon so didn't want to torture more

      LoL, it looked opposite to me. Since I work at Amazon find a reason to torture and reject me.

      Oh sad.. If they guessed that you will bring bad culture then they will ask tough questions. I projected that I am against the culture so they might have treated me as a victim.
      I was asked LC easy level questions and trivial system design for levels equivalent to amazon L6

  • It depends on the interviewer and the team you’re being hired for. Also the lower the level the higher the difficulty of algorithmic questions. But 2 hards in one round is too much, some interviewers just want to show off be it any company.

  • Probably depends on your background as well. You can't have "Competitive programming" or "Master/CM at Codeforces" on your resume and expect an easy/medium LC problem. I'm not sure about your background anyway.

  • Probably monitoring cloud. I have been part of hiring drives for this org but not anymore as higher leadership felt my LC easy/mediums were not difficult enough.
