The codepad with 100 lines of starter code is so real. I spent like 15 minutes just reading before writing a single line. Felt like a reading test more than coding.

Did you get any feedback on the phone screen? Curious how much the edge cases mattered in your case.

Had a similar experience with the HM round. The "how do you approach" questions threw me too, felt less structured than I expected. Hope you get good news.

Same here. I prepped all STAR and then they just asked open-ended how questions the whole time. Ended up rambling a bit.

A/B testing platform SD seems to come up there pretty often from what I've seen. Good luck, hope they get back to you soon.
