Topics: Behavioral Questions, Object-Oriented Design, Graph Algorithms, Hash Table, Generative AI
Location: Seattle, WA, US
Interview date: 2026-03-15
The interview consisted of two back-to-back rounds, each lasting one hour. In the first round, I was asked behavioral questions focusing on conflict scenarios, dive deep examples, and instances of going beyond my responsibilities. I was also asked about generative AI. The interviewer asked many follow-up questions to verify the authenticity and thoughtfulness of my experiences.
The coding portion of the first round included an Object-Oriented Design (OOD) question and a graph problem similar to the Leetcode question Course Schedule II. In the second round, I received a hash table easy-level question with a few simple follow-ups.
I felt fortunate with the questions I received. I had recently practiced the Course Schedule-like question, which helped a lot. However, OOD is not my strong suit. I spent a significant amount of time clarifying the requirements with the interviewer. Although I completed the code, I barely had any time left to fully explain it before moving on to the behavioral questions.
