After a recruiter screen, I ended up with an on-site loop that felt very hands-on and code-focused.

I sat down with two interviewers for a technical block where they had me implement an LRU cache from scratch on a whiteboard, and then tackle a classic 2-sum problem. After that, the conversation immediately shifted into another technical challenge—stream processing—still solved live on the board.

The whole on-site was basically one continuous sequence of problems: small talk at the start, then a couple of LeetCode-style questions, then more depth depending on the interviewer. I remember feeling like the questions were meant to test whether I could stay organized under pressure while coding
