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

The interview I went through felt average in difficulty and lasted about an hour.

It was built around two coding questions plus several theory questions pulled from a range of topics, largely tied to my resume.

I remember the balance: the coding portion was enough to test fundamentals, and the theory questions asked me to explain concepts across different areas rather than staying in one narrow lane. The questions felt relevant and not random.

I didn’t get an offer at the end, but the experience overall felt solid—like a fair snapshot of both coding and background knowledge.
