Tremendous interview questions

Recruiter Screen, HM interview, Take home interview I got to the 2nd round but was declined after the take home. I was told the emphasis would be on my writing skill. I did spend a good amount of time on this assignment but was unable to clear this round. Good luck to anyone who goes through this process. It is unclear as to what they are looking for or why my take home was insufficient.

Started with a call with a recruiter, who was very pleasant. Followed up with another technical screen that was a simple non-Leetcode-style question. Then moved onto the take-home/final interview which was to design a solution to a technical problem and then implement the solution in multiple phases throughout the "virtual onsite." The process itself was straightforward and I appreciate not having to do contrived Leetcode-style exercises to complete the interview process, but the take-home question is poorly designed. They frame the technical problem with language that suggests that the purpose of the exercise is to explore your problem solving and technical solutioning experience, but in reality it felt much more like they wanted a very specific solution and for you to have arrived at that same solution with no input on their end. The problem does give you ample room to demonstrate your decision-making process, but ultimately it feels like they just want to see you arrive at the same conclusions that they would internally, which gives off-putting vibes to me.
