How it went

The candidate encountered standard cross-functional behavioral interviews. However, they were surprised by the unstructured nature of the app critique, where the interviewer provided minimal guidance. The technical system design interview also proved challenging due to the interviewer's deep dive into unfamiliar technical architectures, algorithms, and latency constraints.
