      Backend Engineer Interview

      5 Dec 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LY (Japan) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      **Pre-screen Test:** The pre-screen test consists of 5 tasks on Codility. Out of these, 2 or 3 are medium-level, but they have fewer test cases compared to LeetCode. You should complete them within 3 hours. **First Round of Technical Interview:** The first technical interview focuses on designing an instant messaging (IM) system similar to Line. The specific topic may vary depending on the team that has the HC. **Second Round:** The second round involves implementing a concurrent task pool, which is slightly more challenging than typical data structures and algorithms (DSA) coding problems. Unfortunately, I did not pass the interview, so I am unsure about the remainder of the process.
