United StatesPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a recruiter screening, I jumped straight into a marathon coding interview that ran about three hours back to back.

I felt decent at the start and got through the first task in a way that matched what I expected. The last two problems were more like medium LeetCode-style questions, but by the time I got there, the fatigue really caught up with me.

The difficulty didn’t feel impossibly hard on paper, but the pacing made everything harder than it should’ve been. By the end I was mentally worn down more than I was technically stuck. I didn’t end up getting an offer, and the whole thing left me feeling like the interview format, not just the coding, determined how I performed.
