After the OA, the interview journey felt unusually short for a six-month internship—there was only one follow-up round.

The format was straightforward but heavily focused on me talking through my work first, then switching into a single system design challenge.

Early on, I had about the first 10–15 minutes centered on my project. Once that was done, I was asked to design a parking lot system. Even though it was just one round, it was clearly meant to test how I approached system-level thinking right after presenting my own background.

In the end, it didn’t turn into an offer. The process felt condensed and direct, and that made the system design question carry a lot of weight compared to anything else.
