System design problems are much better and more realistic than leetcode style IMO. Let's be real, most developers don't need to have leetcode T9 solutions memorized because it with either never come up, or they can do some research when it does. Knowing more about an entire system and architecting it requires a lot of variety of experience and it's just a more fun interview for everyone involved. When I interview people, I also hope I'm assigned to conduct our architecture one because it really makes you learn a lot about an engineer.
