No, they are expected to be presented with a set of requirements and present a solution that loosely meets them. That is used as a backdrop to ask technical questions and see how a person collaborates.
- danpalmer 1y agoYes, I would expect people to be able to discuss all of this and more, with trade-offs, in 1 hour. I'm not expecting any code, I'm only expecting a box diagram at best, and it won't be a finished design, but the whole point of system design is being able to come up with designs to meet exactly this sort of thing.
- ddimitrov 1y agoThe interviewer was clearly annoyed at my questions, it was not that I didn't discuss the right things, it was that I asked too much and drew too little.
