United StatesPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview started on a bad note: the interviewer showed up about nine minutes late, and I was told the format would include a leetcode-style coding segment, a small systems design portion, and some questions at the end.

I was able to produce a working solution for the coding portion with time still left, so I felt good about momentum.

Then the timing got messy. With roughly twelve minutes left at the one-hour mark and the interviewer still behind schedule, they never got around to the systems design question. Instead, the session abruptly ended with the prompt to ask any questions.

The abrupt shift in format, especially after I had delivered a working solution, left a sour feeling. I understood they make decisions and schedule next steps as they see fit, but ending without honoring the stated structure
