Process
The interview had 5 rounds. The first, second, and fourth rounds were coding, while the other two were system design.
I really enjoyed each round, as the questions were very well-crafted, crisp, and led to good discussions.
One of the system design problems was very practical, with many research papers published on the topic. The other focused on artificially expanding the scale to explore how a given system would behave and methods to optimize performance.
