Redmond?

What’s your graduation year and resume

[obsidian maple]

congrats! what was your interview structure

[dull phoenix]

is this the fullstack role? also what was your interview like? and when did you do it?

[vale tide]

Yes

[vale tide]

Next year, also my resume is not that good tbh lol.

[vale tide]

Three 1 hour coding rounds, the first 15 minutes were behavorial

[vale tide]

Yes it's for the full stack role. I took the VO interviews on 10/1

[prime stirrup]

are all rounds lc med?

and how many qs per round?

[vale tide]

Yeah I would say they were all medium difiiculty. Two rounds were 1 question with follow ups, the third one was one question only since the behavorial went on longer than 15 min

[dull phoenix]

do you know what team your interviewers are in?

[vale tide]

I don't remember tbh lol.

[vague kindle]

Congrats, timeline?

[dull phoenix]

lol all good tyty

[scenic anvil]

How do you think the interview went for you performance wise?

[vale tide]

I don't remember when I applied but recruiter reached out about the OA on 08/27. Received the assessment the same day. Heard back on 09/09 that I would move on to the VO. Took VO on 10/01 and received the offer yesterday, 10/08

[vale tide]

I feel like I did really well on every round. The interviewers were satisfied with my answers. Granted, I did practice a lot and failed a bunch of interviews as well lol.

[vague kindle]

nice

[mortal rain]

how do the follow ups work, like how do u know how many follow ups u will have, just wanna know how to pace myself

[vale tide]

There was still time remaining after solving the question. One of the follow ups was how can I make it more efficient. On another round the follow up was building off the algorithm I had to take into account for another scenario. Might be a good idea to ask the interviewer ahead of time

[mortal rain]

should i phrase it like “before we start , i was wondering if we will be having follow up questions or additional questions so that i can better manage my time”

[cunning remnant]

Tc n split?

[dull phoenix]

if you dont mind, for the 3 questions, which lc patterns were they asking for? it's understandable if you dont want to say

[vale tide]

Yeah that's good 👍

[vale tide]

Design, reg exp matching, and string manipulation

[mortal rain]

sys dsign or OOD?

[vale tide]

OOD, like the questions you see on LC, design linked list as an example

[mortal rain]

ho long did u take for technical also how was ur interview split up, like firts 15 behavorial, rest LC and 5 mins for questions

[vale tide]

Not sure i understand your first question and yes that's how it was split up.

[mortal rain]

did you ever finish a technical with ample amount of time, also for these technicals do the interviewers chime in a lot to ask questions about the code or is it mostly you talking and explaining

[dull phoenix]

oh wtf they asked you for regex? gg

[vale tide]

Oh, yeah enough for them to ask a follow up on two rounds. The other round I took longer so there was no follow up. And yes they do chime in a lot to ask about what you're doing and why so it's best to talk through all of your thoughts so that your approach is clear and they understand and get the go ahead before you start coding.

[vale tide]

Yes he said it was a real problem he had solved lol

[mortal rain]

do u rmmbr what typee of follow ups u had for ur questions

[vale tide]

How to make it more efficient and implement it , and on the other round just gave me more constraints so had to adjust the algorithm to adhere to those constraints

[mortal rain]

also sorry last q, but in the prep vids they said not to write pseudo code, but is it bad to write pseudo code before we actually code or

[vale tide]

I didn't i said my approach out loud and asked for confirmation to then proceed. I think it's company/interviewer dependent so doesn't hurt to ask them if that is fine or not

[dull phoenix]

just gotta pray i don’t get curveballs like that

[vale tide]

In case like this, I explained that it can be solved with dp but asked if it was okay to do it recursively, I'm grateful he said yes otherwise I'd of been cooked lol

[dull phoenix]

wait so you were implementing regex?

i thought the problem was to use regex to solve it

dang that’s a lc hard

gg

[vale tide]

It was just two cases so not too bad also he was very inquisitive about my approach which also helped guide me to my solution bc it helped correct myself. He was helpful

[viral scroll]

where did your intern?

[dull phoenix]

yeah it’s just . and * but still

[viral scroll]

microsfot never gives me an oa

idk why

3 years of applying

[topaz wadi]

can I DM?
