May 21, 2025 · 36 reads
Summary
I interviewed at Oracle for an SMTS role in the US, facing several System Design challenges across multiple rounds, including designing distributed LFU/LRU caches and a metrics/monitoring system. The outcome was a rejection.
Full Experience
Coding Rounds: Custom problems, not from leetcode, simple Round 1: Design Distributed LFU Cache Round 2: Design Distributed LRU Cache Round 3: Design Metrics and Monitoring System Behavioral Round
All these Design problems (Rounds 1,2,3) were System Design problems, like "design TinyURL". No they were not LeetCode coding problems. No they were not OOP design problems.
