GitLab Software Engineer interview experience

After that, I moved into the technical interview, and the guide made it sound like we’d be focused on discussing an assignment. I finished that part expecting the rest to follow a similar pattern.

Then I was surprised with a design question that I hadn’t anticipated based on the stated flow. That moment threw me off a little because it shifted gears after we’d covered the assignment discussion.

I didn’t receive an offer, but the process itself was understandable until that unexpected design turn.
