Rejected by Expedia, SD round felt rushed

Just wrapped up my Expedia loop, 4 rounds total, got rejected after the VO.

Phone screen was a sliding window problem, LC easy medium, went smooth enough. VO had two coding rounds, one being a house robber style DP, plus a system design round on order cancel and refund that had to be synchronous not async. Every round opened with a quick Expedia values question before getting into the actual technical stuff.

SD felt kinda rushed, didn't get to talk scalability before time ran out. Rejection came about two weeks later, not shocked tbh.

what was the SD prompt exactly? refund flow sounds like the one I got too

yeah it was cancel order plus refund, they wanted it sync not async, kinda specific constraint

sliding window phone screen came up for me too, seems common for the SDE screen
