My loop followed the familiar structure of several coding rounds followed by broader rounds. I completed three coding rounds, then a high-level system design round, and finished with a hiring-manager round. AI was allowed in the process, which made it feel different from stricter interview settings.
The work meant solving coding problems in sequence, switching to system design, then meeting the hiring manager. Even with AI available, the work still felt heavily dependent on clarity and correctness, especially when I had to explain trade-offs and design choices.
I did not get an offer, but the loop felt coherent and consistently structured, which made it easier to stay focused.
