Chicago, ILPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with an online assessment on HackerRank where the statements were oddly long and seemed to bury the key details I needed to solve the actual task.

I ended up having to rely on specific patterns I’d practiced before, like sliding-window style approaches, rather than just reasoning my way through from scratch.

After that, the interview trail moved into rounds that were more technical than behavioral, but the process itself felt stressful mainly because it took too long to move forward and I couldn’t fully commit to timing when scheduling stretched. I also encountered a version of the pipeline where the early stage was extremely high-volume: two separate OA phases with many multiple-choice questions and a couple coding questions each.
