Leetcode style interview primarily regarding class and function instantiation. One system design question that is fairly simple. High bar of expectation that you ask thorough questions and implement edge cases. Code is presented in levels of difficulty where the minimum bar is completion of level 2. Nearly all questions were found on leetcode tagged.

Question 1
- 1) Given 2 string arrays(sorted in descending order), one for sales team, one for marketting in the form - [" $500: employee_name: employee_designation", "$ 300: employee_name: employee_designation"] Find median salary among all employees for both teams
- [4. Median of Two Sorted Arrays](https://leetcode.com/problems/median-of-two-sorted-arrays/)
- 2) Extend this to n arrays from n different teams. Find median for all employees. They focused on testing the code, you'd clear the round if your code gives right output for their test cases.
- [23. Merge k Sorted Lists](https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-k-sorted-lists/)

Their recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn for a Software Eng (London) role. The overall process was very smooth and well organized. After the recruiter call, I was scheduled for a Technical Design screening round.

Question 1
After basic pleasantries, the system design question was - Design a hotel booking system. The interviewer was an eng manager. The env was coderpad.
It's a pretty standard question where you need to manage hotel inventories (keep in mind small and large scale hotels), room bookings for guests, etc.
The process was coding-heavy and centered on data structures and algorithms. The interview included problems such as Median of Two Sorted Arrays, Maximize Amount After Two Days of Conversions, and Find Bounding Boxes of Connected Houses in a Ragged Grid. Interviewers also asked about time complexity, edge cases, and optimization tradeoffs.

I spent a lot of time and effort preparing for my interviews, they were relatively easy but I don’t think this company actually wants to hire people. I thought my interview went super well but I received a flat out rejection (standard automated rejection after onsite) it absolutely crushed me. No feedback or follow up, straight up rejection. They’re soulless, do not join. I think I dodged a bullet
