San Francisco, CAPosted Jun 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My experience was pretty standard: I went through an interview process that included a take-home exercise.

It took some time to complete the full loop, and the work felt specialized to the specific vertical I was applying to.

I didn’t move forward beyond the assessment portion, but the overall structure felt thoughtful rather than random. The take-home in particular stood out as the main time investment.

Even without an offer, it felt like a legitimate attempt to evaluate fit for a specific kind of problem rather than just running generic screens.
