London, ONPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a single interview round that ran as a straight split between discussion and live coding: 45 minutes of conversation followed by 45 minutes of coding with follow-up questions.

I got the choice of which programming language to use, which made the setup feel less rigid and more comfortable.

The questions weren’t overly difficult, and the whole thing went smoothly. Interviewers were very friendly, and the tone stayed light enough that it didn’t feel like I was fighting the format.

Even though it was only one round, it still felt like a real evaluation—enough discussion to understand how I thought, and enough coding time to see it in action. I didn’t receive an offer, but the experience didn’t leave me with any sense of chaos or confusion.
