The technical rounds were more demanding than I expected. The questions did not seem unfair, but the interviewer energy and live problem-solving pace kept me switching gears. I implemented an LRU cache and then worked on a course-prerequisite ordering problem, which made me think about ordering constraints as well as code.
The final round was the most stressful. I had to maximize the area trapped between vertical lines, and getting the reasoning right under time pressure felt more intense than the earlier tasks. A recent architecture exercise I had done on PracHub felt unexpectedly relevant during that discussion and gave me more confidence in how I structured my thinking.
The process was challenging but engaging, with a constant need to keep moving. I accepted the offer. My takeaway was that it rewarded clear reasoning more than knowing a particular trick.
Location: United States. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: got offer.
