Candidatura
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Airbnb (Seattle, WA) nel mese di ago 2024
Colloquio
1 Code Screen and 1 Onsite. The onsite is:
Code Review
Engineering Experience
Coding
System Design
There are some recruiter calls in between the rounds. I would say that you should practice speed for the Code Review round.
Domande di colloquio [2]
Domanda 1
I guess the interviewer customizes all his questions based on the project you choose.
Talk about a big project you were a part of.
Why were you chosen to lead it?
What were the steps you chose to implement it and why?
Talk about the other teams you worked with.
Talk about implementation details.
How long did it take, how many people did you lead, and what were the challenges/
How did you define milestones and distribute work?
How do you delegate work and make people successful vs. managing the overall timeline?
What challenges did you have?
What did you learn?
What compromises did you have to make with the product manager's vision?
What issues did you have with other teams?
How did you maintain high quality, especially during the rollout?
(Testing, Monitoring, alerting, rollout strategy)
Hiring manager feedback - D.C. said I communicated very clearly, but that I have no sense of accountability or humility and that I spoke poorly of coworkers and treated them like "low performers" (his words, not mine).
He also apparently spoke against me in the onsite debrief and didn't want me to join even at the G8 (~Software Engineer II) level. That is crazy. I have never had an issue in behavioral/eng. experience interviews before.
The interviewer was D.C. He completely made up this detail about "low performers," and I don't understand why.
You are given an array like [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 4, 0, 3, 4]
Part 1:
Print a terrain where each number represents the height of a column at that index.

Part 2:
Imagine we drop a certain amount of water at a certain column. The water can flow in whichever direction makes sense. Print the terrain after all the water has fallen.
dumpWater(terrain, waterAmount=8, column=1)

Entrevista muito curta, prevista pra 15min mas acho que nem chegou a isso. Poucas perguntas e pouco espaço para o candidato falar sobre a sua experiência, nem a câmera a recrutadora ligou
1. HR screen
The HR asked about my experience and mentioned that their coding question is very difficult. So, we scheduled the first technical interview for two weeks later.
2. 1st technical interview
Just the coding question, no more self-intro and project dive.

A Leetcode hard problem about maze, which could use BFS to resolve

Got an email from a recruiter 3 months after applying. 45 min coding assessment was the next round. You have to be flawless to pass this stage. I figured out the hardest part of the problem by myself but needed a hint for the other part. Wrote up the entire thing and didn't pass it. So unnatural.
