Had a recruiter call, hiring manager call, a two-part technical round, then a stakeholder interview. I had very minimal communication with the recruiter so I didn't really know what to expect.
Interview was simple. The interviewer was very polite and was helping me with the suggestions or hints in the system design.
They asked me about the recommendation system that resembles the current udemy system.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System design for the Udemy recommendation system.
They only update when you push them.
And the person interviewed me are not even from the team that I applied for, they said they just help the other team, but it seems like the helped all along the way till the Virtual Onsite, ZERO actual team member showed up to interview.
In the final round the VP talks in light speed and it is very hard to understand.
Overall experience is definitely negative and it seems like they are not even sure if they are hiring or not.
