Rippling loop left me confused about their bar

Rippling loop left me confused about their bar Just got rejected from Rippling after 4 rounds, kind of a bummer. For context, I'm 6 YOE coming from a mid-size fintech, was hoping this one would actually stick since the comp looked really solid. Phone screen was the AI coding thing everyone talks about now, delivery cost system with driver rates, had to log deliveries and get running totals. Used Cursor with Claude since that's apparently the move. Got through the first two parts clean but burned...

Same thing happened to me on the hotel booking question. Felt like there was one right path and I picked wrong.

Yeah that round is rough, the interviewer expectations are all over the place depending who you get.

How long did it take to hear back after the onsite? Trying to gauge my own timeline.

Which SD answer did they want, ES index or hitting the DB directly? Trying to figure out the right answer going in.

Pretty sure ES index, felt like he wanted that from the start.

Congrats on getting through the phone screen at least, that delivery cost one is brutal with the AI setup.
