Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a compact but rushed loop that blended behavioral questions, system design, debugging, and coding craft.

The system design portion focused on a review and reward system, and the behavioral questions were tied to messy real-world logistics—handling lost or incorrect orders showed up in the scenarios. The debugging round used a geographic RoundRobin-style problem, and the coding craft was directly connected to the Dasher payment domain.

What stood out most was the time pressure. I felt like I was always racing the clock and never had enough breathing room to fully explore the problems the way I wanted to. Even though I could follow what was being asked, the pace made it hard to finish strong.
