I was head hunted and after a phone screen, I went to Menlo Park to attend the onsite interview. The interview went really well and I gave the optimal solutions possible. I was optimistic to get an offer. After two weeks I got a mail that because of high volume of applicants they are not going to extend an offer.
This literally made no sense. I even took pics of all my answers and when I came back and verified all my answers. The recruiter didn't even have the courtesy to mail answers to my questions. Please save yourself time and energy and not apply here.

Design Twitter and consider if it was suddenly an extremely low latency env
Grateful doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about landing this role. The interview loop was smooth and friendly. They kicked things off with a technical round where I faced a DSA question about verifying an alien dictionary. Lucky for me, the time I'd spent on PracHub paid off, as it had the same type of problem just days before. After that, I had a system design discussion and a behavioral interview. Everything felt very collaborative, and by the end, I received an offer that I was thrilled to accept.

Pregunta 1
Given a list of words written in an alien language and the order of letters in that language's alphabet, determine whether the words are sorted lexicographically (Verifying an Alien Dictionary). Walk through the comparison approach using a character-to-index map, the O(C) time complexity where C is total characters, and how you'd extend it to handle words with mixed-case letters or words containing characters outside the given alphabet.
