Process
After HackerRank and LeetCode-style coding interviews, I moved on to the on-site portion. The on-site interview consisted of decomposition and learning portions.
The decomposition question varied widely between interviewers, with some seeking code and others seeking system design. My interviewer seemed uninterested and like they didn’t want to be there.
The learning portion involved being given code and asked to find bugs.
