Mass-applied at the end of January.
Got the OA at the end of April:
Coding question 1: there's an original version of this on the forum — a circular array of drone destinations (first and last connected end to end), find the shortest path.
Coding question 2: AI debug.
I picked Java. The problem was an actor + movie website. Roughly the functionality: users can follow actors, and an admin can add new movies and cast lists. If an actor a user follows gets a new movie added, the user receives a notification.
The text description on the left tells you which features are broken and how they're broken. After fixing one, I'd ask the AI which code/files were involved in that feature.
Overall it wasn't hard, just long and a bit time-consuming. But for the Java version I did, the test cases they gave didn't cover all the bugs! I'd suggest going through every bug listed in the text description yourself and clicking through all of them again on the UI they gave you.
Work simulation and work style are both already covered on the forum — just answer according to the Leadership Principles.
Got an email in mid-June saying the OA passed. Got a keep-warm email at the end of June, then the VO survey the next day.
Four VO rounds in early July:
R1, hiring manager. Asked me how I use GenAI, and how I adjust when the output doesn't match expectations. Coding: a variant of a LeetCode problem.
R2: two behavioral questions — a complex technical problem, and a tight deadline. Coding: an OOD question, the pizza problem that's already on the forum, but I was only asked to implement part of the functionality.
R3: two behavioral questions — going beyond your responsibilities, and a missed deadline. Coding: an easy-medium hashmap question. I couldn't find the original anywhere, and the follow-up was a slight variation that just added a sorting step.
R4, bar raiser. Three behavioral questions — ambiguous requirements, critical feedback, and learning something new quickly.
Got the offer three days after the VO.
