Process

Structured interview with clear expectations. Interviewers were professional and collaborative. Questions focused on problem solving and system design. Process was rigorous but fair, with timely communication throughout the entire process.

Questions

They asked me to walk through my problem-solving process out loud, explaining trade-offs and decisions, rather than just arriving at the correct final answer.
