Interview Process
The interview involved a coding challenge focused on flagging expenses based on specific rules. Each expense was represented as a dictionary with keys such as id, trip_id, amount, and type. The initial task was to design a function to determine if an expense should be flagged according to four given rules. During the follow-up, two additional rules based on the trip were introduced. The candidate implemented one rule per function, despite concerns from other sources about this approach. The interviewer did not raise any objections during the discussion.
