Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
The interview process had four rounds. We started with an online assessment (OA) and Hirevue, which were sent right after applying. The OA had LeetCode medium and hard problems, plus some multiple-choice questions. The Hirevue was pretty short and asked basic HR-type questions. Then, I had a manager screening where I met with the EDG manager to go over the job basics and ask questions. The final round was a four-hour virtual power day. It included a two-hour technical interview with an EDG engineer, featuring a LeetCode medium/hard DP problem and a systems design question. After that, I spent an hour with the manager again to discuss the role in more detail. Finally, I had an hour-long meeting with the recruiter.

The aptitude round had about 4-5 sections. Most sections had 8-12 questions, but the coding section only had 2 questions. The test was conducted on Hackerrank. Topics covered included numerical reasoning, math, data structures and algorithms (DSA), object-oriented programming (OOPs), and coding. All sections except for coding were multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
