The onsite interview consisted of four rounds covering system design and behavioral questions.
I had a four-round onsite interview.
Coding questions: Leetcode 1054, Leetcode 4348
One system design question involved designing a natural disaster notification system for vacation rentals. I could use third-party APIs to view disaster information and a geo API to construct polygons. Internal APIs were available to view order information, homeowner information, property location information, and traveler information. I was asked how to efficiently query all affected properties/orders. Apparently, this is a project the interviewer is currently working on.
I also had behavioral questions about how I learn new knowledge and my most challenging project.
Another system design question involved designing CRUD operations for an employee system and querying reporting lines. I was asked about high concurrency, locking, API design, and data storage.
