[plucky hazel]

Big W

[verbal stream]

Seattle

[latent dawn]

sheesh congrats bro

[echo roost]

is it an OOD or system design question?

[verbal stream]

Ood

[echo roost]

did you finish the coding questions? looks very challenging.

[verbal stream]

Did not get the n queens one

Told a basic idea but couldn't code it

[stone forge]

What’s ur background and what did you get on the oa?

[verbal stream]

Uiuc us citizen 1 internship at F500 and 1 internship at small company. Terrible gpa and I've been on probation 2 times before

It's more than this though cuz I've used another account before

[slender crane]

probation?

[verbal stream]

Means my gpa for a semester fell below a 2.0 like spring 2023 I got a 1.7 and for spring 2024 my major gpa was 1.96

So bad gpa

If u don't fix ur gpa when on probation u get kicked out

[slender crane]

ic

[verbal stream]

Not on probation anymore though

[stone forge]

Did you only do neetcode 150 to prep? And what oa score did you get for zon?

[verbal stream]

I got first question right and second question I got 14/15

I did 150 long before interview prep

[modern sable]

How to prepare for OOP questions??

[verbal stream]

I just looked at common questions people got online

[modern sable]

Ok and for behaviour??

[verbal stream]

Did prepare for it really

Didn't*

[echo roost]

For the coding questions, did u code on codesignal or any other platform?

[modern sable]

Ohh okk

Yeahh you have pass test cases in interviews also??

Or it’s just whiteboard type

[stone forge]

What list is 150 long

[stiff chasm]

neetcode 150

@verbal stream TC?

[verbal stream]

Idk

Haven't gotten it yet

Will tomorrow

[wary river]

Congrats @verbal stream no more amz prayer

[verbal stream]

Hackerrank

[prisma thicket]

were you able to choose location or was Seattle default

[little hare]

CONGRATS BRO🐐

[echo roost]

After coding, run the test cases they provide?

[glass yoke]

congrats man!! how hard were the coding follow ups? can you give some details on what kinda follow up they asked?

[verbal stream]

For the oa yes for the interview u can't run the code in the ide

[verbal stream]

No followups on the leetcode for the ood they just said if u can take multiple orders at a time

[prisma thicket]

.

[modern sable]

in interview you need to pass test cases/ run the code? or just explain and write the code

[verbal stream]

Explain the code

[solemn swallow]

Are there other locs?

TC?

[fossil yacht]

so the ood is like u have a pizza shop anf u want to take multiple orders? did they ask u to optimize it or just see how u come up with the design?

[verbal stream]

129k base 40k sign on bonus first year 33k sign on bonus second year and 111k rsu over 4 years

[verbal stream]

They asked me to optimize it and write the code

[fossil yacht]

do u know if there's any similar question? and is the lp hard?

[verbal stream]

No lp is easy

I just treated it as a normal behavior

Lp isn't really difficult imo

They just follow up a few times on each question but if u explain the answer a lot at first they won't follow up as much

[fossil yacht]

I heard that lp is more important than coding

[verbal stream]

Might be more important i guess but I find behavior easy

[fossil yacht]

how many stories did u prepare for behavioral? did u repeat them for each intv?

[verbal stream]

0

I just answered it on the fly

[fossil yacht]

what's abt lld? I've never done it before so pretty nervouse

[verbal stream]

I practiced ones I saw online that people got

And thankfully I got one that other people got

[fossil yacht]

can u share the resources? I only found parking lot, tic tac toe etc not the pizza one

[verbal stream]

I don't have any resources but I practiced Linux file system, lru, pizza, parking lot, elevator, and reservation system

[flat rampart]

bro was dooming for no reason

[verbal stream]

Guess I did good during the behavior then

[flat rampart]

u nailed the techs

dyk which location?

[verbal stream]

Seattle

I couldn't do 1 of the questions at all

[flat rampart]

yea but maybe that was bonus question

[verbal stream]

I guess

[flat rampart]

cuz ur first one was already a hard

[verbal stream]

It's whatever though got the offer that's all that matters

[flat rampart]

so u finished it quick and had time to spare so anything after that was brownie points

u got it so chill

zon or google?

do they give u a team and start date?

[verbal stream]

Google but I havent gotten that offer yet

[flat rampart]

are u dec or may grad?

[verbal stream]

The start date is in March for some reason and I asked them to change to may

May grad

Should be fine

Idk why they gave me a march date though when on my app it says I'm a may grad

[modern sable]

for LRU in OOP design you can use inbuild linkedinhashmap or have to implement from scratch?

ok

[latent dawn]

i assume lc 150 mostly?

[fossil yacht]

did u have to draw uml diagram?

[verbal stream]

No uml and I did most of the lc 150 yes

[topaz remnant]

Congrats! Did you check application status before offer and what's that?

[lilac escarp]

Wdym optimize? Was multiple orders a part of optimisation?

[verbal stream]

Like u have to use a queue to get orders as they come in order

[glass yoke]

is that neetcode 150 or another list

[verbal stream]

Neet code 150

[low swift]

Congrats Asta! Your prayers have been answered

[low swift]

Do they bump the base for grad students though?

[verbal stream]

Idk

That's the offer I got

I'm happy with it

[low swift]

Hope you get into Google!

[verbal stream]

Same

But I'm happy with Zon if I don't get google

[rain crown]

Hey congrats
Did you get offer after submitting post interview survey?

[verbal stream]

I got the survey 1 hour before offer but finished it like 2 hours after I got the offer

[rain crown]

I also got the post interview survey today but no offer😭 does that mean rejection??

[flat rampart]

when was ur final

[rain crown]

January 10

[modest summit]

Congrats man 🎉

I was in a similar position as you, had terrible gpa and got zon offer

[echo roost]

any suggestion for preparing the interview?

[glass yoke]

^

[stone forge]

@modest summit @verbal stream how many days after zon oa did you get to schedule technical interview

[verbal stream]

[verbal stream]

good shit we both shit at school

[verbal stream]

[echo roost]

What about the OOD questions?

[wary river]

@verbal stream does zon schedule call to offer/reject? or you just get email

[verbal stream]

Email

[verbal stream]

Just study common ones that are given in interviews

[wary river]

Did you have a dedicated recruiter?

[lilac escarp]

Asta do you have a list of the common ood questions

[verbal stream]

I had a recruitering coordinator

[verbal stream]

No

[stone forge]

Sorry I meant like for them to ask to schedule an interview so like your available dates

[oak folio]

@verbal stream How did you feel your interview w bar raiser went (the behavioral one). I felt like I did ok, but idk if the questions I him asked were smart enough and the interviewer did not make it known if i was doing well/ if he liked me

[verbal stream]

I did good I think on it I think

[verbal stream]

Yeah they emailed me to fill out a survey for availability

[stone forge]

You know how Mandy says after oa sorry for harassing you.

Congrats btw

[blissful sinew]

yo congrats on the offer. Since you heard back after 5 business days, did you happen to email them or you just waited until they sent an email?

[echo roost]

What platform did u work on during the ood interview?

[solemn swallow]

So 175 first 2 years?

[sand ginkgo]

[modern sable]

Did you draw UML diagrams also or just classes for LLD question?

[verbal stream]

No

[modern sable]

okk and what lld questions you prepared before going to interview and from where?

[modern sable]
