Phoenix, ArizonaPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied through a recruiter, and the whole process took only four days.

I had two onsite rounds in Phoenix, Arizona. The interviews were based on my work experience, and then each included whiteboard coding. The coding topics leaned toward Java 8 features like streams and pattern matching, and there were also some system design questions mixed in.

I got positive feedback from both rounds, but I still wasn’t selected. Even though that was disappointing, the short timeline and the strong engagement during the discussions made it feel like a serious evaluation rather than a formality.
