This candidate interviewed for an SDE 2 role at Nykaa after being contacted by a recruiter. The overall interview process was described as quite easy due to prior preparation.
Round 1 (DSA - 1 hr): This round involved two LeetCode Medium questions. The specific problems were "Container with Most Water" (Leetcode 11) and "Group Anagrams" (Leetcode 49). The candidate had solved these questions previously and cleared this round easily.
Round 2 (LLD - 1 hr): The interviewer asked the candidate to design a McDonald's retail outlet. This included expectations for API implementation and designing the data schema, along with follow-up questions. An easy coding problem was also part of this round.
Round 3 (HLD & Managerial - 1 hr): This round started with a detailed discussion about the candidate's past projects and work experience. Following this, a high-level design of an engine for targeted campaigns at scale was expected.
