  • Round 1: Phone interview with Software Engineer, 60 min
    • Self Introduction, go through my background
    • Leetcode #42. Trapping Rain Water

Nice people, easy to interact with. So I received a positive feedback.

  • Round 2: Phone interview with Software Engineer, 30 min
    • Software Design problem: Design a card game with mutiple 52-card decks and multiple players

For me it is diffcult to describe my solution only through words without any text editors like coderpad. I think I didn’t do well in this round.

  • Round 3: Phone interview with Manager, 30 min
    • Self Introduction, go through my background
    • Java basic concepts:
      major difference between Java 7 & Java 8
      garbage collection

I didn’t answer the Java questions well and got rejected.
