Phoenix, AZPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

This was a virtual hiring event where the interviewer spent a lot of time asking about my background to understand where I’d fit.

After that initial focus on context, the session shifted into a coding question.

They asked a LeetCode-style palindrome string problem, and there was also a Java-related component. The overall feel was average difficulty and pretty standard for what you’d expect in a live virtual screening.

I didn’t get selected, but the process itself felt direct: first my experience, then a quick technical check.
