What the Candidate Sees

When the system design part starts, the screen splits into the System design question on the left and Your whiteboard in the middle. Whix and the candidate’s camera move to the right, and the conversation carries on while the candidate draws.

The whiteboard at the start of the design question

  • Drawing tools — boxes, diamonds, circles, arrows, lines, a pen, text, and an eraser, plus a hand tool to move around the board. Each tool has a number key shortcut.
  • Tips on the board — label each component, use arrows for data flow, keep one component per box, and think out loud while designing.
  • Zoom, undo, and redo at the bottom left, and an expand icon at the top right to make the board bigger.
  • Whiteboard button at the bottom of the screen shows or hides the board. The Transcript button at the bottom left shows the conversation beside it.

A candidate's design, with the transcript open

Whix looks at the diagram as it’s drawn and asks follow-up questions about it, for example how the design avoids collisions or which database it would use.
