Behavioral Technical Coding System Design Other
Got referred by a friend. Recruiter set up a quick 15-20 min call. Then, I had a phone interview that was split into two parts. The first 30 minutes were behavioral and some general Spring questions. The second part involved a coding challenge on Codepair, specifically the spiral matrix problem. The onsite involved an NDA and four 1-hour interviews. The first interview started with a 15-minute chat about Vrbo and my experience, then moved to a technical question about efficiently storing data using basic types. The second interview was a LeetCode medium array problem. The third interview covered a small system design, a tree algorithm, and some Java/Spring tech questions. The fourth interview was half behavioral and half Object-Oriented Design (OOD), though I didn't get enough time on the OOD part.

Technical Coding Behavioral System Design
I applied online and did this Hirevue/Codevue thing. Then I got a call to set up a phone screen with the hiring manager. They asked about my experience and interests and what the team does. After that, I scheduled an on-site interview. It was about 2.5 hours and had two technical interviews with SWEs and one behavioral with the hiring manager. The technical interviews were okay, the first was about designing a basic CRUD app and some dev/ops stuff, and the second was about OOP and data structures. No whiteboarding or algorithms, thankfully. The last interview was typical behavioral stuff, like future goals, past conflicts with teammates, etc. The offer came the next day. Pretty standard interviews overall.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
First, there was a super easy HR phone screen where they asked about my school projects and work experience. Then, I had a technical phone screen which was mostly pretty easy questions, like the difference between arrays and vectors, classes and objects, finding the max integer in an array, removing duplicates from an array, and what the 'grep' command does. They also asked what 2^16 is and a system design question about designing a Unix file system with OOP, which I didn't do well on. I got rejected the next day, so they probably thought I wasn't good with OOP and didn't want to proceed. Definitely brush up on your OOP concepts and how to apply them. Good luck!
