Nashua, NHPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had an interview that began with a brief resume look and then questions about my projects and past experience.

The technical part included C topics like linked lists and bitwise operations, and it felt like they were checking both understanding and whether I could explain concepts clearly.

There was also time set aside at the end for me to ask about the role, which I appreciated since it felt like a complete back-and-forth rather than a one-way evaluation.

I didn’t get an offer, but the overall structure felt normal and fairly balanced between background discussion and core programming topics.
