Rippling Software Engineer interview experience

There was one interviewer, and another person sat in as a shadower. They asked two DS/Algo questions that started with basics like structures such as hash maps or stacks, but the follow-up questions got genuinely tough.

Even though I was solving it in my language of choice, I felt the pressure because the difficulty jumped quickly after the initial setup. I left with the sense that they were looking not just for correct answers on the first pass, but for depth under follow-ups.
