Entretien
Worst of experiences ever:
I applied online and a recruiter reached out to schedule next steps in mid-July.
Scheduled for a Phone Screen in few days after that.
This guy shows up for interview and says design rate limiting system. I was like this was supposed to be a coding round. He said this is a coding round but you have to design a rate limiting system.
Okay I started to code and asked him what requirements and constraints do you want me to consider. To which he replied, just do whatever you want to. I understand that we are supposed to be creative, but there must be some expectations that a interviewer has from candidates. I just wanted to know what he expects in the solution, and he just kept saying do whatever you want. While coding and walking through the solution, he seemed to be continuing to do his own work. I had to explain him certain lines in the code 2-3 times.
This was the most bizarre interview I ever had. Few days later recruiter calls back and says you did well but we need to down-level you. Since you did not live up to the expectations. I was furious at that point, but I accepted it.
For next steps she suggested to give her dates for on-site and fill out immigration related details. I did that and couple of days later she called me and said they are no longer hiring within that org. If something else turns up we will let you know. My phone screen results were valid for next six months.
This was the most unprofessional experience.
The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and began with general questions about my background before diving into technical topics. I was asked to solve a DSA question on finding the top K frequent elements, discussing both the min-heap and bucket-sort approaches. Surprisingly, I had recently practiced a similar problem on the algorithm section of PracHub, which helped me articulate my thought process clearly. The interview continued with an onsite where I tackled system design and behavioral questions, and overall, the experience was straightforward and positive, leading to an offer that I happily accepted.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Top K Frequent Elements: given an integer array and integer k, return the k most frequent elements. Walk through both the min-heap approach (O(n log k) time) and the bucket-sort approach (O(n) time), then discuss the trade-offs in time, space, and which one you'd pick for a streaming variant where new numbers keep arriving.
Surprisingly, the interview felt quite straightforward, especially for a senior role. I started with a technical screen, where I was asked to design an Uber Eats cart service. It caught me off guard initially, but then I remembered a specific mock I had practiced on PracHub that was nearly spot-on with this scenario. The final round included some behavioral questions, and although I received an offer, I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Round 1 - Coding
Question: Count Rectangle-Line Intersections. Given a set of rectangles and a set of vertical line segments, count how many places the vertical lines intersect the rectangle edges (ignoring edge-on-edge overlaps).
