Dublin, DublinPosted Feb 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with an automated screen that asked me to manipulate a string input, and then the process shifted into three live interviews.

Each live round had a distinct coding style and environment: one used a web-based interface, and I remember doing multiple easy-to-medium LeetCode-style tasks that included things like palindrome detection, linked list traversal, and even an LRU cache implementation. Another round pushed me into a terminal session over SSH where I coded while debugging, including a sieve-style problem.

The final live interview was another coding round where I used the language I preferred. Overall, the theme was hands-on problem solving, and the difficulty sat in the easy-to-medium range with some debugging
