United StatesPosted Feb 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through two back-to-back interview rounds with lots of LeetCode-style practice, and the last round pushed me because I hadn’t seen that kind of problem before.

Technical round 1: Staff Engineer — In a 60-minute session, the first part was mostly behavioral-style questions, then the remainder was coding.
Technical round 2: Hiring manager (coding + live problem) — Another 60-minute coding-focused round; across these rounds I faced multiple LeetCode-style questions, where the earlier ones were doable and the final one felt harder due to unfamiliarity.

Outcome: No offer; I was rejected after the harder final coding round.
