Midtown New YorkPosted Feb 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first challenge was a HackerRank test, followed by a one-hour technical interview and then a virtual onsite around three hours long.

The onsite sequence felt like a consistent continuation rather than separate experiments.

The questions were easy to medium DSA-focused topics, including hash maps, strings, and queues. Interviewers were friendly, and aside from a small complaint from one recruiter, the overall tone stayed positive. The problems felt very similar to typical LeetCode-style questions.

Even with all of that, I was rejected. My main takeaway was that the process was approachable and recognizable, but still competitive enough that getting the “standard” DSA questions right wasn’t a guarantee.
