Interview
I applied online, and It took me about 2 months to get response from the recruiter.
Unlike my previous experience, the interview question is to implement a LRU cache. I haven't practiced that before, yet the interviewer was satisfied with my codes. Another question is design problem to use OO design on parking lot.
Within a few days, I got messages to I was going to on site in the following 2 weeks.
The're 4 interviews and 1 lunch interview from 10:30 to 14:30. Most questions are straightforward, or even you can find the exact same problem in cracking the coding interview. However, the third interview is totally OO design problem. I didn't do it well, I think that's why I get rejected after about 1 week.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Question 1
Given an array of integers return the indices of two numbers summing to a target
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
