Coding Behavioral
There were two rounds, each an hour long, with a 15-minute break between them. Each round had two interviews. The interviewers were super nice and friendly and made me feel comfortable from the start. Each round included two Leetcode questions (easy-medium) and two behavioral questions. The behavioral questions were straightforward and typical for an interview. The second interview actually went a bit over time because the interviewer helped me work through one of the Leetcode problems!

Coding Technical System Design
So, the interview process started with a Hackerrank test that had 2 easy-medium DSA questions. Then there were 3 more rounds focusing on DSA, each with 2 medium DSA questions. After that, I had a Hiring Manager Round where we mostly talked about my resume projects and some situations from my current job. The last round was an LLD round. They asked about LRU Cache, but it was more than just solving it like on Leetcode; they wanted me to think about the design in terms of things like concurrency, scale, resilience, and idempotency. I didn't get the offer in the end, but the HR actually gave me feedback over the phone, which was pretty cool compared to other companies that just ghost you.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- LRU Cache, discuss High-Level Design and Low-Level Design, and write the code.
- Discuss the design of LRU Cache, considering aspects like concurrency, scale, resilience, and idempotency.

Coding Technical
I went through the interview process for an SDE 3 at Expedia. It was super frustrating because I got ghosted after following up for feedback. The interview felt really unstructured, and the interviewer didn't seem that experienced. They asked me very basic SQL questions, which was weird because it's an SDE 3 role, not really for beginners. I had to remember exact SQL syntax even though I haven't written queries in ages. It was nothing like FAANG interviews at Google or Meta where they give you good feedback and have structured interviews. This whole thing felt like a waste of my time, and I left feeling really disappointed and like they didn't value me as a candidate.

- Write SQL queries to perform searches in the database.
- Complete a coding test in a Leetcode style.
