    Initial chat on background and interest in logistics/e-commerce.

  2. 2. Technical Phone Screen

    Coding and basic system design discussion.

  3. 3. Onsite Loop

    4 rounds: Coding, System Design, Product Thinking, and Behavioral.

    • Behavioral

Thank you so much! I definitely feel like I learned a lot and it will definitely help me with my system design not just in Instacart but other companies. Also, I appreciate you answering all my questions and staying a little bit over. Once again, thank you so much.

5 star review

Thank you so much for your pin pointed feedback. This was the best mock interview I ever took. Also thanks so much for spending extra time with me despite we ran out of time  The behavioral mock was really worth it. One of the best mock interviews that i ever took. Reasons are below:  1. Coach even before began understood the job role and learned about other interview rounds in the onsite to asses what might be asked  2. Interview felt real and he could exactly pin point areas where I felt uncomfortable answering tough questions. He also gave feedback about the desired signals and tips to answer the question  3. His tips on how to raise the bar in the answers were invaluable  4. Coach was not in a hurry to end the session. He also spent extra 5-7 mins after we ran out of time
