United StatesPosted Jun 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My technical round revolved around a DSA problem about finding the closest points to the origin.

I was asked to explore multiple approaches, including options like sorting, heaps, and quickselect, and I got the chance to talk through tradeoffs as I compared strategies.

There was also a behavioral section at the start, but overall the process felt very easy compared to what I expected. The interviewer tone was friendly and the flow didn’t feel like it was trying to trip me up. I eventually received an offer and accepted it, and honestly the biggest takeaway was how smooth the evaluation felt compared to the anxiety I had going in.
