New York, NYPosted Jul 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview loop took a relatively long time overall, and it followed a pretty classic sequence: an OA stage first, then an HR call, then a technical phone screen, and finally a virtual onsite.

The OA questions were long, though they didn’t feel especially hard on their own.

The phone screen and the virtual onsite felt closer to LeetCode medium territory. Each round had follow-ups, so it wasn’t just “solve it and move on”—there was continued back-and-forth tied to what I wrote or decided during the coding.

I didn’t end up getting an offer. The main feeling I remember was how much time the process consumed before I got a yes-or-no, and how the follow-up style made each stage feel like it mattered, not just the initial solution.
