Very friendly interviewer who made the conversation feel collaborative rather than stressful. He asked a lot of thoughtful questions about core concepts and how you would actually design and build different systems. The interview was fairly math heavy, emphasizing logical reasoning, problem decomposition, and precise thinking rather than rote coding. Overall, it felt rigorous but fair, and you could tell he genuinely wanted to understand your thought process.
