Colloquio
Never in my life I felt so humiliated!
After the phone interview, I was invited to their office in downtown NYC.
The on-site interview was supposed to be two parts. One part before lunch, and then another one after.
I went through the first half just fine and it felt like the interviewer and I totally clicked, but then during lunch with another two of their employees, apparently I said something that they didn't like?!
So as soon as we went back to the office, they dropped the bomb that they won't continue with the rest of the interview w/o any explanation!
I was never as much dumbfounded & humiliated...
That was it.
Opening the technical round, I was taken aback when they asked me to implement a thread-safe LRU cache, which I had just practiced on prachub.com during my prep. We spent a lot of time discussing different locking strategies, and I had to explain how to extend the cache for TTL-based eviction. It felt quite intense, and though I received an offer, I ultimately declined as the team dynamics didn’t seem like the right fit for me. The coding question was definitely a highlight, and I'm grateful for the targeted prep I had done.
First you have to do Hackerrank, which is doable but can be tricky. Then they like to screen your coding with leetcode like problems. After that, they start screening your design skills and general technical depth.

Had 3 rounds of Technical Interviews which I cleared easily. Recruiter told me that there would be few behavioral interviews once the headcount freeze would be lifted. It has been more than a year now and even after several follow-ups haven't received any response from the company. It also appears that I am not alone and there are many others who have cleared interviews but were kept on hold due to unavailability of headcount. 2S needs to stop wasting precious time of candidates if they do not intend to hire.
