Rippling onsite, felt like I missed one specific answer on system design

That interviewer face thing is so real, mine barely reacted to anything the whole hour and I had no idea if I was doing okay.

Did you use AI for the onsite coding round too or just phone screen?

Used it for both, no opt out this time. Went smoother than the phone screen honestly.

Had almost the same SD round a few months back, also went DB direct for search and got dinged. Feels like a coinflip on which answer they want.

Yeah I've heard mixed things on the hotel booking one, seems very interviewer dependent.

Rough, sorry man. The PPT round sounds like it went well at least.
