I was head hunted and after a phone screen, I went to Menlo Park to attend the onsite interview. The interview went really well and I gave the optimal solutions possible. I was optimistic to get an offer. After two weeks I got a mail that because of high volume of applicants they are not going to extend an offer.
This literally made no sense. I even took pics of all my answers and when I came back and verified all my answers. The recruiter didn't even have the courtesy to mail answers to my questions. Please save yourself time and energy and not apply here.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
