Process

The first round was a recruiter screen.

It was pretty basic: "Tell me about yourself" and "Here are the teams hiring."

The second round was a tech screen, which included a system design and coding challenge.

I didn't make it past the screen.

Questions

System design: How would you design an AI chatbot?
