Chicago, ILPosted Feb 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The process felt very smooth from the start.

They gave me a choice between a take-home assessment and a more traditional whiteboard-style interview, and I chose the take-home. The write-up took about 2.5 hours, mostly because I leaned into extra test coverage and spent time polishing it.

After that, I moved into an onsite that went well. I had a chance to talk with a number of people across different levels and tenures, and the conversations covered both what engineering looked like right now and how the company was thinking about its direction. One system design interview especially stuck with me because it was genuinely fun to work
