United StatesPosted Oct 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a relatively compact sequence: first an online assessment, then straight into live rounds that felt less like standard “DSA-only” interviews and more like a mix of coding and systems-style thinking.

On the first step, the questions included a basic Python component, and once that cleared, I ran into two rounds back-to-back that tested very specific capabilities.

In those live rounds, I had to solve a currency exchange arbitrage problem and also do a system design exercise centered on designing an elevator. That pairing made the difficulty feel skewed toward thinking beyond pure coding. The overall vibe was thought-provoking, and I remember it feeling somewhat out-of-the-box—especially with the system design prompt.

I didn’t make it to an offer, but the experience was still memorable
