Question

Airbnb | SDE 2 | Interview Experiences | CTC 80LPA | 2022 | Set - 3

Answer 1

While I cannot share the actual questions that were asked in the interview, I'll try to outline the number of rounds and the topics which were asked in each round.
 
1. First round was screening which was an online assessment test. This round had a single problem on trees. It's difficulty level was LC-Hard
 
2. The screening was followed by 2 live coding rounds. Here, you were expected to come up with a working solution for the given problem in 45 mins. These were elimination rounds and the difficulty level of the questions were LC- Medium to Hard. The questions were scenario based.
 
3. Fourth round was a design round which mainly focused on High Level Design. Here you were expected to come up with the API design and DB schema of the presented problem.
 
4. Fifth round was a technical experience round. Here you need to present any one of your projects that you had worked on and go through the major design decisions that you had to take, what went well and what were the scope of improvements. Design and Technical experience were also elimination rounds.
 
5. Post this there were 2 Cultural fit rounds.
 
Overall, there were a total of 7 rounds which consisted of 3 sets of eliminations.
 
For coding rounds, I would suggest practice the concepts thoroughly on leetcode or any other platform you're comfortable with.
Master recursion, backtracking, dynamic programming, graphs, hashmaps and trees. Keep practicing!
