Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took two weeks.

It was mostly normal, easy, and passable in all technical questions until I got to system design. The interviewer asked about my experience and the general interview stuff. They asked about algorithms, Kafka, microservices, and other things that four years of experience would've been expected to know.
