I opted out of AI for mine and still felt like the expectations were unclear. Not sure it makes much difference honestly.

What tool did you end up using, Cursor with Claude or something else? Trying to figure out what to set up before mine next week.

Used Cursor with Claude like the recruiter suggested. Worked fine for the first two parts but I think I spent too long double checking edge cases early on.

The delivery cost problem seems to come up a lot for phone screens there. Good luck on the next one though.

Agreed, I've seen that one mentioned a few times too. Seems pretty standard for their phone screens.

Rough, sorry to hear. Recruiters pushing the AI setup so hard is kind of a weird flex for a phone screen tbh.

Same thing happened to me last month, didn't finish part 3 either. Kinda feel like the bar assumes you've done this exact problem before.

Yeah I've heard part 3 is where most people run out of time. Did you use AI or go without?
