One was a good chat with some technical questions. The second was very "bay area" with a JavaScript syntactical question. The third was an easy tech problem. The fourth was a design overview.

They were all fairly easygoing.

I was asked to design a shopping cart, and we went through that exercise. I was then asked how we could scale it to hundreds of millions of users. I discussed microservices, tenancy models, caching, using large-scale databases, and more.

The answer they were looking for was 'use a NoSQL DB,' not a realistic conversation on what supporting that kind of user base takes.
