Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process had two rounds. The first round involved simple resume questions and basic data structures. The second round was a very silent interview with a director where they asked me to code a CLI program. They gave me a document with about 3 pages of description, and despite being 10 minutes late, the interviewer expected a working example. There were no introductions, just 'this is the question and do it.' They specifically want PHP people. The recruiter kept emphasizing 'extreme hands-on' experience, mentioning it 5-6 times in the intro call. It makes me wonder why they're hiring an engineering manager if they want an extreme hands-on programmer; they could just hire a senior or principal engineer.

Coding System Design
The interview process included a first round which was a DSA round along with some background information. The interviewer for this round was knowledgeable. The second round was with an associate director of engineering who seemed to lack knowledge. This round was an LLD round where I was given a 3-4 page document to read and then had to create a class diagram. I completed all the tasks requested. I would suggest not to waste time on this interview. They should hire a tech lead who knows coding instead of an associate director.

- Find the longest increasing subsequence in an array that includes negative values.

Behavioral Technical System Design
First up was this HR screening thing where they lay out the job and the interview process and ask some standard HR questions. In total, there are 3 rounds. The first is a technical round done virtually. Then, there's a technical round combined with system design that happens on site. The last round is a managerial one, also on site.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- For the Top-K Frequent Elements problem, implement a function to get the top K most frequent integers in an array. Explain your method and its optimality. How would you handle a streaming input?
- Regarding setTimeout Ordering with an API Call, if you have a setTimeout followed by an API call, what's the problem with the execution order, and how do you make sure the API call happens after the timeout?
- For the Remove Overlapping Time Windows task, given input like [[3,2],[1,6],[4,8],[5,9]], how would you remove overlaps to get an output like [[3,6],[4,8],[5,9]]? They were looking for a plan covering input sanitization, the processing strategy, and an analysis of time/space complexity.
