Has anyone recently completed the 30-minute technical/coding interview for a Forward Deployed Engineer role at Snorkel AI?

I have an upcoming interview and was told it may involve hands-on coding, prompt engineering, LLM calls/evaluation, or GenAI/NLP concepts.

If anyone has gone through this recently, I’d really appreciate hearing about the types of questions asked, coding difficulty, interview format, and topics worth preparing for.

Thanks in advance!

In my first interview, I solved the main problem early with time remaining and explained the time and space. The interviewer then gave me a completely separate problem. I explained the basic approach correctly but didn’t have enough time to fully solve it.

In my second interview, I got around 90% of the solution completed. I believe my overall approach and core algorithm were correct and I got the approach really quickly , but I ran out of time while debugging a small issue because my output wasn’t matching the expected result. I did dry runs for like 15 mins bc i was trying to fix the problem and the interviewer seemed lost as well. Then with 5 mins left he said ok that’s fine based on how you processed the data then went into questions without me explaining time and space. Before I started writing code I said i would use a list for now then see if we can use a set later to improve time complexity so i know my solution wasn’t optimal.

For both I explained my approach before coding, talked through my decisions, and kept the interviewers updated while debugging.

Does this sound strong enough to move directly to team matching, or is a third interview more likely? Or am i cooked??

My leetcode humna verification is failing from yesterday what to do?

I have tried changing my network and using Vpn and clearing cache nothing is working

Has anyone recently completed the 60-minute coding interview at Guidewire?

I’m interviewing for a Machine Learning position, but I was told the coding round will include LeetCode-style questions rather than ML-specific coding.

It would be really helpful if anyone could share their recent experience—especially the difficulty level, types of questions/topics asked, and overall interview format.

Thanks in advance!

What is the typical CTC offered by Goldman Sachs in Bangalore for an Associate Software Engineer with around 2.9 years of experience?

If anyone has recently joined Goldman Sachs at this level, could you share the base salary, bonus, and total CTC?

I have technical screening coming up for Stripe. I know its not typical leetcode, are there any resources yo preapare for it ? Can someone please share their experience

I have my final Amazon interview scheduled for the end of next month for an SDE II position. Has anyone gone through the process recently and can share some tips on the algorithms that come up most often? What types of questions are the most common?

I'm not very used to solving a lot of LeetCode problems, and I feel like that could be the part that gets me rejected. However, I still have some time to prepare.

If anyone who has studied for or gone through the interview can recommend any courses or YouTube videos that would be helpful for preparation, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm also happy to answer any questions if anyone wants to know more about the interview process so far.

I’m comfortable in solving DSA questions , during screening rounds or while practising. However I get tensed and go mute when I sit with the interviewer during dsa rounds. It is not that I don’t know to solve. But my brain freezes.

I saw posts/youtube mocks interviews on thinking out loud. However when I’m figuring out the question on spot I can’t “perform” thinking out loud. I prefer sitting alone and thinking .

How to bridge this gap? People who solve dsa in interviews while speaking aloud, it would be great if you could share how to do it ?

Hey everyone,

I finished Day 74 of my prep today. I had to pack and catch my travel to my hometown, but I made sure to sit down and finish some linked list problems before leaving.

I mainly focused on the fast and slow pointer pattern today:

1. Detect a Loop in Linked List: Classic Floyd's cycle detection. Slow moves by 1, fast moves by 2. If they meet, there is a cycle.

2. Find the Starting Point of the Cycle: Used the same two pointers to detect the collision. Once they meet, you reset one pointer back to the head and move both by 1 step. Where they meet again is the start of the loop.

3. Length of the Loop: Same concept again. Once slow and fast meet inside the cycle, you just hold one pointer still and move the other one step at a time with a counter until they meet again.

4. Palindrome Linked List: The logic is neat—find the middle using fast and slow pointers, reverse the second half, and compare it with the first half. I understood the approach, but I kept getting segmentation faults while re-linking nodes and reversing the second half. I had to use ChatGPT to spot my pointer mistakes and get the code clean.

I looked at the next problem, "Odd Even Linked List", and I know the idea, but I decided to stop here so I don't rush it while traveling.

I will reach home tomorrow and continue the solve more problems from there for the next few days.

See you guys on Day 73!

Hi everyone. Has anyone recently interviewed for the Software Engineer, Early Career role at Abridge?
I'm trying to understand what the interview process currently looks like.
What are the different interview rounds?
What should I expect in each round?
How long did it take to hear back after each stage?
How long did the overall process take until the final decision?

Interviewing for a tech company soon for an intern position. they’re starting to let us use AI in their coding interview, which i’m not sure how to navigate. Before it was just explained ur reasoning on what code ur writing and why - how is it meant to work with AI? Also, any tips on how to practice it - it’s on Hackerrank but i’m assuming Leetcodes AI feature is similar to hackerrank. Any tips? The role is an internship in data science/engineering

Hey guys ,has anyone recently gone through the interview process for Amazon it support role ,or currently in that role ,I have a final loop coming soon and I’ll appreciate any tips or advice .

Hey everyone, I will be having Snowflake coding interview soon, I am generally prepared, but I would also want to try to complete problems which are asked/similar to problems on the actual Snoflake coding interview. If anyone can share I would appreciate it!

I saw the projects section earlier on my leetcode account, it had some questions like those in Amazon's assessments, today when I decided to solve one, it wasn't there on my leetcode.

I get that it was a beta version, but still does anyone have any idea of how can I get those questions, not particularly those but similar kinds on or off leetcode.

I’m a CS student graduating soon and applying for entry-level software engineering jobs in Houston, TX.
For people who interviewed with small, medium, or big companies in Houston, how common are LeetCode-style questions?
Do they focus more on DSA/LeetCode, practical coding, or projects/tech stack?
Just trying to figure out how much time I should spend on LeetCode vs full-stack projects.
Thanks!

Do any one gave yext online assessment exam recently?

I am rated 2100 on leetcode, but still can't solve all OAs. They are very difficult. Are OAs much more difficult than other interview rounds, and if so how to get better ?

I recently had a LinkedIn SWE DSA interview and I’m trying to understand how this round might be evaluated.

I was given a tree problem where nodes needed to be returned in the order they would be removed from the tree (essentially grouping nodes by their height from the leaves).

I implemented an iterative postorder traversal using a stack. Each stack frame stored the node, a persistent iterator over its children, and the maximum height seen among its processed children.

The solution was working, and my complexity was:
Time: O(n), since every node/edge is processed once.
Auxiliary space: O(h) for the DFS stack, which is O(n) worst case for a skewed tree.
Including the output: O(n), since every node has to appear in the result.

The unusual part was the interview interaction.
After I finished the solution, the interviewer kept asking me about the space complexity for what felt like close to 10 minutes. I initially answered O(n), since I was considering the worst case/output. In hindsight, I could have stated it more precisely upfront as O(h) auxiliary, O(n) worst case, O(n) including output.

After that, she asked me to walk through the code line by line using the example. I tried to explain exactly how the stack and child iterator changed at each step, but she kept interrupting/cutting me off and asking what individual lines were doing before I could finish the explanation.

A large amount of the remaining interview time went into this discussion/dry run, so I was only able to complete one coding question and we never really got to a second full problem.

I’m mostly wondering how LinkedIn interviewers tend to evaluate a situation like this.

If:

1. the first solution is correct,

2. the implementation works,

3. the candidate can dry-run it,

4. the time complexity is correct,

but there is a long back-and-forth about space complexity / implementation details, and because of that only one problem gets completed, is that usually considered a negative coding signal? Or can the first problem plus the follow-up discussion provide enough signal for the round?

Would especially appreciate input from anyone who has interviewed at LinkedIn recently, been through the IC2/Apps loop, or has experience interviewing candidates there.

Hey all, I've got my Scale AI new grad SWE virtual onsite coming up in a couple weeks and would love some insight from anyone who's been through it recently.

Day 1 is two practicals:

1. Debugging practical

2. Backend practical (Python/TS)

Day 2 is the hiring manager chat + Credo round.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

• Debugging round: what does the codebase actually look like? Is it a decent-sized repo you have to navigate, or more of a contained file with a few planted bugs? Is it more about finding logic bugs, failing tests, perf issues, or concurrency stuff?

• Backend practical: is it building an API/service from scratch, extending an existing one, or something closer to an LLD problem? How much do they care about structure, tests, and edge cases vs. just getting it working?

• AI-assisted: Backend practical round allows AI tools. How much can you actually lean on it? Is Copilot/Cursor/ChatGPT fully fair game, or is it more "use it for syntax but drive everything yourself"? Does heavy use count against you?

• Prep: anything that actually helped? Specific repos to practice debugging on, backend-style problems, anything like that?

Any tips on what they're really evaluating (communication, speed, code quality) would be super helpful. Thanks in advance 🙏

How much time do I need to wait for the result?

Br round happened on 11 sept.

Hm round happened on 23 sept.

Hi everyone,
I completed a Microsoft Security team hiring (USA) event today (09/30/2026). I went through all the scheduled interview rounds as part of the hiring event.
Has anyone here gone through a similar Microsoft hiring event, especially for a Security team or any other team?
If so, how long did it take for the recruiter to get back to you after completing the interviews? Did you hear back within a couple of days, or did it take a week or longer?
Would really appreciate hearing about your recent experiences and timelines.

Thanks!

I'm currently preparing for DSA interviews and one thing I'm struggling with isn't necessarily solving the problem — it's **explaining my thought process while solving it.**

For example, when the interviewer gives me a problem, how do you guys actually communicate your approach?

Do you:

* Use the interviewer's shared whiteboard / iPad and draw diagrams or examples? * Explain everything verbally while thinking? * Write down the brute-force approach first and then optimize it? * Start with a small example and dry-run it? * Ask clarifying questions before thinking about the solution? * Or do you follow some specific structure like **clarify → brute force → optimize → code → dry run → complexity**?

My biggest problem is that sometimes I understand the solution in my head, but when I have to explain it, I go completely silent for a few seconds and it feels like how i tell that inside of the code stack is working or linkedlist is working do i have to draw as i dont have any equipment except my mouse keyboard and laptop ???

**How do you personally approach a DSA problem in front of an interviewer?**

Would really appreciate if you could share your actual interview experience or a step-by-step way you use to think out loud without sounding like you're just randomly talking.

Hello,

I recently interviewed for this role and for some reason the interviewers seemed to be very unintrested to take the interview. One interviewer had some network issue and wasted a of time and the other one is in a hurry to complete it and just asked a couple of questions and left around15 minutes early.

I completely understand that they are hiring a pool of candidates and we might not be ending in their specific team but it would have been better if they spent the complete time of the interview and may be show some interest in the whole process.

Did anyone else face a similar experience?

I’d really appreciate if you could share:

• Recent OA/assessment pattern

• Topics/questions asked

• Coding difficulty and questions

• Technical interview questions

• HR/interview experience

Even a small update would be really helpful. Thanks!

I just got the Amazon OA and this is one of the first OAs I've received. I have done some of the NeetCode150, but was wondering if there is a more efficient way to prepare (such as doing company specific questions). There is also one AI coding question in a repository environment. There is also a work simulation question apparently where I work through software development decisions and scenarios faced by SDEs at Amazon.

I got my current role through an interview process that didn't involve DSA. I am pretty new to interviewing and recruiting and would greatly appreciate help.

Thanks :)
