Question 1
Apart from computer system basics (OS, databases, network), there's a system design question of a distributed data storage system and a network system.
Got contact by a head hunter. Together has 3 rounds of tech interviews asking about CS fundamentals, leetcode algo etc. The interview took 3 weeks to finish, overall a good experience.
Had a 30 mins call with HR and was completely ghosted afterwards which says a lot about the company. No respect for people.
I have chased twice 3 weeks after the interview and was completely ignored.
Basic human manners would be nice to say, thank you for your time but unfortunately we decided not to proceed.
