Positive

United StatesPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview experience was built around behavioral questions with a standard STAR expectation.

Recruiters were friendly, and there wasn’t much that felt unexpected or out of place. The questions were the kind you’d anticipate: they were asking for specific stories from my experience, and the main requirement was to answer in a structured way.

A key detail was that there were no technical questions at all. The whole thing stayed focused on cultural fit and behavioral examples rather than coding or engineering concepts.

It ended up feeling easy going and familiar, and even though it didn’t lead to an offer, I genuinely didn’t feel rattled during the process.
