United StatesPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with a proctored OA, and there wasn’t a recruiter call before it.

What I remember most was the turnaround feeling quick once it started moving, but also the lack of responsiveness when I didn’t make it further—the company didn’t even reach back to me if I wasn’t approved for the next round. The questions were all LeetCode-based, with some technical trivia related to the team I would have been on, and the final part included a last human interview.

I didn’t get an offer. Despite the quick schedule, the experience felt unfriendly because communication felt minimal
