This was the best interview I've ever had because it focused on real-world problems.
Instead of designing an abstract, pie-in-the-sky system, they asked about a real project I've worked on, zooming in on details to bring up interesting areas of discussion.
The coding exercise was a debugging and refactoring exercise, which is much more realistic than what most companies do.
The interviewers were very open and upfront about the challenges they and the company face.
Also, I can vouch firsthand that when you don't know an answer to a technical question, saying "I don't know, but my best guess is..." doesn't cost you the job.
Find a bug (or bugs) in an already implemented medium-difficulty LeetCode problem. Then, refactor the solution.
