Align Technology Software Engineer interview experience

After the initial phone conversation, I got a technical round where the problem centered on 3D geometry with a scenario-style prompt. I had to reason through the geometry constraints from the description they gave.

Then the coding round switched gears into Python. Instead of a typical algorithm exercise, it asked me to draw a 2D figure, so the work was more about translating a visual/graphical goal into code than just optimizing a known pattern.

The difficulty felt easy-to-moderate, and I didn’t end up getting an offer. What surprised me most was how the technical rounds blended “mathy”
