Summary
Round 1: Technical Phone Screen
Question: Standard interview question. I debugged some minor issues and passed.
Round 2: Virtual Onsite
Question: Job scheduler design. I was asked in-depth questions about my projects. For the coding part, I was initially given a previously seen question from the phone screen, but I was then given a fractional share problem after I mentioned I'd already done the first one. I finished it quickly, and then we just chatted.
