[uneven light]

[worthy cloak]

What’s tcs

[wintry whale]

[worthy cloak]

Yep! 3 interviews 1 was all behavioral, 1 with behavioral and system design and 1 with 2 lc questions

[worthy cloak]

Yea I did

[wintry whale]

Dang how were the LC questions

also how'd you prep for the OOD?

[worthy cloak]

P easy I got lucky lol i got a lc easy and like a modified medium

I just went over a bunch of different practice questions and watched some vids for design patterns

[wintry whale]

sick dude congrats!

[worthy cloak]

Thx gl to u too 🫡

[wintry whale]

Thanks!

how difficult would you say the OOD was?

[sonic sphinx]

did u get tagged?

[sonic sphinx]

was it OOD or actual system design?

[worthy cloak]

Def on easy side since it was New Grad

[worthy cloak]

Not in tagged but they were on neetcode p sure

[worthy cloak]

OOD

[sonic sphinx]

ok
for the LP+coding round, how much time did u spend on each?

[worthy cloak]

I wana say like 15 min LP and the rest was coding

[sonic sphinx]

ok
and u said one OOD and 2 for NC150, right? was it graph or sliding window or something?

[worthy cloak]

It was an array question and a backtracking question

[sonic sphinx]

nice
did the offer mention start date and other logistics or just said you passed the interview?

did u have good interviewers tho? or were they cold

[worthy cloak]

there’s a survey for the start date in the email and then tc on the offer

Yea I think my interviewers were p fire honestly all rly nice

[sonic sphinx]

ok thanks for sharing!

did it say location? is it seattle or do they offer other locations?

[worthy cloak]

Yea ofc

Hmm i actually dont even remember if I put like a location preference but it says Arlington VA

[wintry whale]

Did you have to code up the OOD or was it more like a diagram and talk through it sort of deal? (Never had OOD/system design on an interview before)

[sonic sphinx]

try LRU cache, that is an OOD design question.

[worthy cloak]

Nah it’s just coding but they want classes and functions that are based off OOP

[toxic gorge]

can u share ur interview exp? @worthy cloak

[lone oyster]

Dis you had to give your approach for OOD before you start coding? Asking because for OOD there is no algo. So what to discuss as approach?

[verbal dirge]

where did u do onsite?

[verbal dirge]

i thought all sde1 interviews were virtual.?

[worthy cloak]

Yea I discussed my approach before I started coding

[worthy cloak]

Oh it’s on amazon chime it’s j called onsite

[verbal dirge]

ohh. virtual onsite u mean. my bad.

[smoky wagon]

you gave OA on 11/21 and when did you get mail for final after that?

[worthy cloak]

12/19 they sent an email asking for availability

[regal abyss]

what do they ask in leadership principles and how is that different from behavioral int @worthy cloak

[worthy cloak]

It wasn’t rly that diff but I wld just keep LP in mind and specifically orient ur answers to how you like have bias for action and made an impact
