Washington, DCPosted Jan 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For this Software Engineer track, I faced a difficult, pass-fail technical flow with a strong emphasis on solving quickly, starting at manager-level and then moving to a virtual onsite.

Hiring manager round — a first conversation that set expectations, followed by virtual onsite rounds.
Virtual onsite (problem-by-problem gate) — the next scheduled segment ran back-to-back; if I didn’t solve the first problem, I wouldn’t proceed to the next. I got a dynamic programming problem framed as a hard gate with about 40 minutes. Outcome: No offer; the experience felt like working solutions mattered more than how I explained trade-offs, and I missed the DP threshold.
