United StatesPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

A university recruiter reached out to me by email to check my availability for an interview with the cartography team.

About two weeks later, I met with the hiring manager to discuss my experience and interests.

The interview felt average difficulty overall. It was more about aligning my background to the role and explaining why I was interested, rather than turning into a long coding gauntlet.

I didn’t end up with an offer, but the process was at least clear and contained—quick scheduling, then a focused conversation with the hiring manager.
