  • Compute User Login StreaksEasy

    Tests the ability to write a SQL query to identify consecutive daily login streaks from raw event logs, requiring date deduplication, window functions, and streak length aggregation.

  • Find missing rank in a straightEasy

    This question evaluates a candidate's ability to map and manipulate encoded card ranks, reason about consecutive sequences with Ace-as-low or Ace-as-high semantics, and identify a missing element within a constrained set.

  • Find next greater element for subsetEasy

    This question evaluates understanding of sequence analysis and array-processing competencies, including mapping elements between arrays, index lookup, and designing efficient order-dependent algorithms for the "next greater element" problem.

  • Spiral Order of a Matrix With Blocker Cells That Force Clockwise TurnsMedium

    Traverse an m x n matrix clockwise from the outside in, then handle a follow-up where some cells are blockers that the walk must turn away from. Tests careful simulation of direction changes, tracking of visited cells, and a precise rule for when the traversal stops.

  • Phone Screen with Spiral Matrix and a Blocker Follow-upTemu · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Sep 2026

    I just finished my Temu phone screen. First round (coding): The problem was a variant of a 2D matrix problem. Part one: given an m x n matrix, output all the values in the matrix in spiral order (clockwise, from the outside in). It's a classic, similar to LC 54 Spiral Matrix. Follow-up: what if the matrix has some blockers (obstacles)? During the traversal, whenever you hit a blocker you have to…

  • Technical Round Skipped, Final Round Is Just HR and Salary TalkTemu · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Sep 2026
    In progress

    Last time I mentioned that after a 2.5-hour second round I felt like I'd failed, but I actually hadn't. The second-round interviewer (the dept lead) decided to skip the third-round technical round entirely, so my third round ended up being the final round too — just a chat with HR. A bit about my background, some basic behavioral questions, and then talking about what it's like working there and…

  • LinkedIn Screen with a Twitter Feed Min-Heap QuestionTemu · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

    A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, and that's how the interview got set up. Headquarters is in Boston, but all the hiring is remote. Every role interviewed under the title "software engineer," and the package gets negotiated after based on how you do in the interview. The first round was 60 minutes of coding, and here's how it went: Self-introduction, then they asked about my projects in…

  • Five Rounds, Light on Coding, Heavy on Cross-CheckingTemu · Software Engineer · Onsite · Feb 2026

    Giving back to the forum. After getting hit with a layoff at the end of the year, I interviewed with Temu's North America team early this year. The whole process was 3 rounds of coding + 1 round of behavioral questions with a director/VP + 1 round with HRBP: Round 1: 496. Next Greater Element I Round 2 I don't remember clearly, but it was also a fairly standard LeetCode medium. Round 3 gave a lis…
