How it went

The interview process differed from typical LeetCode-style problems, focusing instead on practical application. The initial technical assessment involved parsing and validating CSV data, emphasizing the ability to distill requirements and implement logic efficiently. A subsequent integration round required understanding unfamiliar code, identifying necessary APIs, and connecting data flows for endpoint and CLI output, leaning more towards system design.
