I survived two rounds and was rejected at the last one.

All interviews were from the US, with candidates having similar backgrounds. This felt like a yellow flag, in my opinion.

• HR interview: Basically, "Why are you applying?" and "What is your status?"
• Coding interview & incident handling: LeetCode 121 (Max Profit, tested on HackerRank with execution expected), with no follow-up question or "Tell me a time you handled an incident."
• System design: Design a system that takes an executable alongside a cron schedule and executes tasks periodically.

Even though I thought I did pretty well, I got rejected. Weird!

Coding classical LeetCode. Design large-scale systems.
