Are Object Oriented Design Interviews still a thing?

Question

Wondering if its worth spending a large chunk of time to build knowledge and understand OOD questions or if its enough to just focus on coding interviews and system design interviews because I haven't heard much on the OOD front when it comes to big tech.

I could be completely wrong but i don't think it's asked as much so would like to optimise my time and maximise ROI.

Anyone have insight on this?

Microsoft ask for it, and many others non FANGA good resource:https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-the-object-oriented-design-interview

Not very common but doesn't hurt to be familiar with the types of questions imo. Just another way to diversify your interview toolbox.

A list of companies that I've personally gotten OOD from: Microsoft, Amazon, Box, Twilio.I think OOD is very important if you want to be successful in software engineering.

I've only been asked the most basic questions, I would say spend most of your time on Leetcode and system design.

Two of my last 4 interviews had OOD questions, worth having if you're not interviewing at FAANG
