Design challenge: interviewer screen shared a packet with context info and the prompt for me to screen shot. They leave you to work on it for ~1hr and then come back for you to present. I didn't have time to read it and ask questions at the beginning but they were available to email and come back on the call if I needed. There were instructions for how they suggest tackling the challenge but my interviewer said not to worry about that and just focus on my process and explaining it at the end. Asked questions about my solution like which piece I would say is the biggest priority, the steps that would go into implementing my solution, how would I Disneyfy my solution and what that meant.
