First 20 minutes were behavioral digging into a specific project on my resume. I was told the phone screen would be coding only but this was not the case. Spend time preparing STAR answers to common behavioral questions for 1 - 2 projects you\'ve worked on.

The remaining 30-40 minutes was this question: https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/object-oriented-design/2778911/Song-recommended-System

Completing top-tagged Bloomberg problems did not help for this. This problem doesn\'t seem to exist on LeetCode, it seems to be a combination of a few different ones. If I had to estimate its difficulty it would probably be an LC hard or a difficult medium. It was intentionally delivered in a very vague manner. The interviewer did not copy/paste anything into the text editor, just manually typed some example input and orally delivered the problem description. It took me probably 5 - 10 minutes to figure out what they were even asking for.

Overall pretty bad experience but hope this helps someone.
