Expedia Group Software Engineer II interview questions

The process consisted of two main stages: Coding Round (HackerRank) I completed two coding problems on HackerRank. The questions were in the easy to medium range and focused on problem-solving, data structures, and basic algorithmic thinking. System Design Round This was a discussion-based round where I was asked to design a URL shortener system (similar to TinyURL). The focus was on high-level design, scalability considerations, API design, and handling tradeoffs. Overall, the difficulty level was moderate, with more emphasis on clarity of thought and structured problem-solving rather than highly complex algorithms.
