      Application

      I interviewed at Prelim (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      - An initial call with HR (mostly behavioral and then logistics) - 2 DSA & Algorithm interview (45 mins, Python, typical LeetCode) - 1 Front-End focused interview (45 mins, React) - 1 panel interview (1 hour of behavioral questions by 1 swe, 1 pm, another senior engineer to oversee)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Behavioral/Panel: On your resume, be sure to know what you're talking about, asked questions that demonstrate about how well can you make an impact, collaboration within a team. Technical: 1st technical was pretty easy, I was asked to write code that produce a specific design made of a bunch of (#). 2nd increased in difficulty, there was a follow-up question as well, it was on you design skill on how you would design and manage a database of customers. Last one was on front-end, only used React and a little bit of tailwin for styling. Asked to code some front-end behaviors as well.
