Process
There were a couple of coding interviews, followed by an onsite containing coding and systems design. I did well on the coding, but I didn't prepare enough for systems design. I believe I should have asked more clarifying questions initially instead of diving right into a potential solution.
Questions
LeetCode easy/mediums and system design.
