I had to explain the choices I made in the approach, and after I finished, they followed up by probing why I designed the solution the way I did. It wasn’t just about getting to an answer—it was about being able to defend the reasoning behind the decisions.

The questions stayed focused on the code decisions I’d described, and the tone felt more like a technical conversation than a rapid-fire interrogation. Overall, it was a smooth experience, but I didn’t end up getting an offer. The biggest takeaway for me was that communication around my thinking mattered as much as the implementation
