New York, NYPosted Oct 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a HackerRank code test as the first step, and then I ended up at a virtual onsite that focused on medium-level coding questions for about an hour.

After that, feedback came back within a week.

The onsite itself felt fairly standard for coding interviews—multiple questions in a live setting, with the expectation that I would implement cleanly under time pressure. I remember the flow being concise enough that it didn’t drag on day after day.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, but the process felt straightforward and fairly transparent while it was running. The main impression was that the evaluation was focused on coding quality rather than a lot of extra layers.
