What surprised me was how little guidance there was. The questions were framed in a way that felt like “solve it,” and even when I answered correctly, it still wasn’t clear what they actually valued enough to move me to the next stage. The interviewer also didn’t seem interested in discussion depth; it was more about getting to the right outcome quickly.
