Wayfair | Software Engineer II | Machine Coding Round
Summary
I recently went through the Wayfair Software Engineer II interview process, which included a machine coding round. The experience was challenging but rewarding, and I was fortunate to receive a job offer.
Full Experience
As a Software Engineer II, I was invited to participate in a machine coding round as part of the interview process. The round consisted of several coding problems that tested my ability to write efficient and clean code under time pressure. The problems were presented in a coding environment, and I had to solve them within a limited timeframe.
The interview process was entirely remote, which made it a bit more challenging to stay focused. However, the problems themselves were well-structured and required a good understanding of data structures and algorithms. I was able to solve most of the problems, which gave me confidence in my abilities.
Overall, the experience was positive, and I was happy to receive an offer for the position.
Interview Questions (3)
Given a stream of integers, find a triplet (a, b, c) such that the absolute difference between a and b is less than or equal to a given threshold, and the absolute difference between b and c is also less than or equal to the threshold. The triplet should be found in a single pass through the stream.
Preparation Tips
To prepare for the machine coding round, I focused on practicing data structures and algorithms, particularly problems related to string manipulation and array operations. I also worked on improving my coding speed and accuracy by solving problems under time constraints. Additionally, I reviewed common coding interview patterns and practiced writing clean, efficient code.
