Question 1
Design a video sharing platform where you can send it to your friends.
The interview experience was engaging and insightful. The questions were challenging yet fair, encouraging a conversation about my skills, experiences, and how they align with the company's goals and values.
Definitely bombed the Behavioural round - need to prepare very well for this. Technical rounds were good and so was the system design.
Amazon LP’s is really important. I guess I focused a lot on the technical part but the behavioural part has more weightage
