Design a streaming service like Netflix.

"I got sourced by a contractor first and then handed off to an actual OpenAI recruiter, which was a little unusual but pretty smooth. The process was a recruiter screen, then a first technical screen with one system design and one coding round, then a virtual onsite with only two more technicals plus behavioral, cross-functional behavioral, and a project deep dive. What stood out most was that the coding wasn't really LeetCode-shaped even though that was the prep guidance I got. The whole loop felt much more practical and scale-heavy than expected, and the project deep dive was easily the most probing part because they kept asking what I actually did and why. My main takeaway was that they want strong generalist problem solvers more than people who just memorize interview patterns."

"Long process with multiple rounds. Recruiter was very efficient and helped with expectations for each round."
