Seattle, WAPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I found the whole experience pretty rough because I was too nervous.

The interviewer seemed intimidating, and that made it hard for me to communicate my solutions confidently.

The session started with an introduction from the interviewer and then quickly jumped into technical questions straight away. I wasn’t able to find my footing the way I wanted, and I felt like the pressure reduced how smoothly I could explain my approach.

I didn’t get an offer. The hardest part to process was that the technical questions may have been solvable, but the intimidation and my nerves made it difficult to present my thinking clearly.
