CanadaPosted Aug 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with an OA that included a hard LeetCode-style problem, and then I hit a second round that was a GenAI-related coding interview.

After that, there was a technical screen where the focus was a high-level medium LeetCode question paired with leadership principles.

The final loop was more DSA-heavy. It included three DSA questions and then a system design round, which made the last stage feel like a full evaluation of both algorithmic work and design thinking.

I wasn’t selected, and overall the difficulty felt genuinely difficult. What stuck with me was how quickly the bar rose from OA straight into GenAI coding and then into multiple DSA questions plus system design.
