Chicago, ILPosted Jul 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first step was pretty standard: I talked with a recruiter, and then I did a take-home assignment that took about one to two hours.

After submitting that, I met with the hiring manager. It felt like a straightforward conversation overall, and the tone was positive, with relatively quick replies.

Another part of the process I went through followed a similar vibe: I took a multiple-choice programming test that included SQL and Java questions, then moved into a behavioral interview where I answered prompts while recording myself. Some of the recording windows felt very short—around a minute or even less—so it was a different kind of pressure compared to coding, but the overall flow stayed simple.
