The ambiguity appeared intentional, requiring the candidate to clarify the requirements through questions. The candidate interpreted this as testing whether the role-holder is willing to ask many questions of other people. After asking questions, the candidate understood the system clearly, but time was nearly over and they could not finish the design as they wanted. ### Question asked - [Design a system that synchronizes customer data with our internal system.](https://www.aced.io/questions/7165) ## What we offer around interview preparation We provide interview guides, interview questions, candidate experiences, courses, coaching, peer mock interviews, job boards, job referrals, and company directories.
