My virtual onsite (VO) was two weeks ago, and I got the result last week — I'm through, and now I'm waiting on team match.
Coding round 1: two questions, both about shopper deliveries. The first one referenced something specific that doesn't translate cleanly from how I originally wrote it, so I can't say more about it here. The second one was a bit more involved, but if you'd already seen the first, you should be fine on it too.
Coding round 2: a data pivot problem. Not too hard overall, but if you're doing it in Java, watch out — their platform is genuinely bad, you can't manually import date-related packages. That cost me a ton of debugging time and I almost didn't finish. I eventually found that just comparing the strings directly (lexicographically) was enough to pass; otherwise writing a manual date-comparison routine by hand would have been a real pain.
System design: design a catalog. There's a lot of geo stuff to reference. Designing a table with a self-join was enough — the focus was mainly on the API and the DB schema.
BQ: standard behavioral questions.
Does this company ever change their questions? I interviewed here around this same time last year and got rejected. This year it was the exact same set of questions, start to finish. I was honestly shocked.
