Overall good expereince except two interviewers. I didn't feel like joining their team after having 15 minutes of discussions with them. One of them kept asking me about my current company related details like very specific details and I had to tell him in straight words that I can't provide those details. The other guy was from a different team but I didn't feel like he kept yawning since the very first minute of the interview. I never felt like he is in a position to take interview.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
Basic algorithm question (Leetcode medium). One design question and bunch of behavior questions.
The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and began with general questions about my background before diving into technical topics. I was asked to solve a DSA question on finding the top K frequent elements, discussing both the min-heap and bucket-sort approaches. Surprisingly, I had recently practiced a similar problem on the algorithm section of PracHub, which helped me articulate my thought process clearly. The interview continued with an onsite where I tackled system design and behavioral questions, and overall, the experience was straightforward and positive, leading to an offer that I happily accepted.

Pregunta 1
Top K Frequent Elements: given an integer array and integer k, return the k most frequent elements. Walk through both the min-heap approach (O(n log k) time) and the bucket-sort approach (O(n) time), then discuss the trade-offs in time, space, and which one you'd pick for a streaming variant where new numbers keep arriving.
Surprisingly, the interview felt quite straightforward, especially for a senior role. I started with a technical screen, where I was asked to design an Uber Eats cart service. It caught me off guard initially, but then I remembered a specific mock I had practiced on PracHub that was nearly spot-on with this scenario. The final round included some behavioral questions, and although I received an offer, I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, it was a positive experience.
