The interview leaned strongly on DS/Algo, and the expectation was pretty direct: the DS/Algo part needed to be solid.

When it came to system design, they provided hints, but the bar was still high in practice—answers needed to stand on their own even if hints were available.

Overall, it felt smooth in execution, without chaotic logistics. The difficulty was difficult, though, because the system design portion still required real depth rather than relying on the nudges. I didn’t receive an offer, but I walked away feeling the process had a coherent standard: strong fundamentals and the ability to reason through system-level tradeoffs.
