Interview Questions (5)
I was asked to perform a Low-Level Design (LLD) exercise that specifically involved designing a filter system.
Discuss how you implemented learnings from outside of work into your work.
Describe a situation involving conflict and how you handled it.
Tell me about a time when you were unable to deliver something, and what happened.
Describe a situation where you solved a significant bug.
Preparation Tips
Advice
- Create around 10 stories such that these stories cover all LP questions. Twist and turn the story depending on the question.
- Take LP super seriously its basically 50% of the total 3 hours. Try to give mock for this.
- Do Amazon tagged questions religiously. TC, SC and data structure knowledge is very important. Just solving the problem won't help.
- Practise LLD by manually writing the code instead of just seeing someone's code. I killed this round so much so that the interviewer didn't even ask me any follow ups because my code was so expandable. Because of practise I had a sense of what he would be looking for and I designed thinking about what he might ask next. This will come naturally once you write atleast 12-15 LLD code.
- Time management is super important.
Hold on and believe. Its nerve wrecking but everyone gets a job.
I can't say anything more because of NDA
