Summary

I interviewed for a Full Stack Engineer position at LiveNation, which included a take-home assessment and two technical interviews. Despite being told one interview wouldn't be technical, I was unexpectedly given a LeetCode problem, and I'm currently awaiting feedback for the next round.

Full Experience

I recently went through the interview process for a Full Stack Engineer role at LiveNation. The process started with a technical phone screen, followed by a take-home assessment, and then two subsequent on-camera technical interviews.

The take-home assessment required me to build a simple React application without any styling. In the first on-camera interview, I was asked to sort some data, implement React components, and apply styling to them.

My frustration grew during the second on-camera interview. Despite prior assurances from the HR representative that this particular round would not be technical, I was unexpectedly presented with LeetCode problem 207, "Course Schedule". This left me feeling quite blindsided, as I hadn't prepared specifically for DSA or LeetCode questions, relying on the HR's communication. The lack of clear communication and misaligned expectations throughout this process were genuinely disappointing.

I am currently waiting for feedback to schedule the final interview round.

Interview Questions (1)

Q1
Course Schedule
Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given a total of numCourses courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to numCourses - 1. You are also given an array prerequisites where prerequisites[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that you must take course bi first if you want to take course ai. For example, [0, 1] means to take course 0, you have to first take course 1. Return true if you can finish all courses. Otherwise, return false.

Preparation Tips

I had not spent any time practicing on LeetCode or brushing up on my data structures and algorithms knowledge for this specific role, as I was under the impression that one of the technical rounds would not involve such questions based on HR's communication.
