Boston, MAPosted Sep 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went into the interview expecting it to be challenging, and it definitely was difficult.

What surprised me a bit was how talented and thoughtful the panel felt—despite the tough questions, it was clear they weren’t just trying to be difficult for the sake of it.

Most of the questions pulled from my previous experience, especially my background in design and work I’d done on university projects. I didn’t make it to the next round, but I left thinking about what I’d do differently to address the downsides they were looking for if I ever reapplied.
