McLean, VAPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process felt pretty straightforward overall, and it landed as four rounds: one behavioral, one coding round, a “technical business” discussion, and a system design interview that pulled from my resume and experience.

The interviewers came across as nice and fair, and the conversations stayed on track with what they were trying to evaluate.

The main thing that bothered me wasn’t the technical part—it was how the recruiter handled the offer. I felt pushed and like I didn’t get much time to think through the decision. That urgency was the only real negative I took away from what was otherwise a smooth, low-drama journey.
