Chicago, ILPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through three phone interview rounds spaced a couple of weeks apart, and then I finally had an onsite in Chicago.

Each phone conversation lasted around 30 to 45 minutes and was made up of two or three questions.

The onsite ended up being a whole-day process. Even though the details of the day weren’t broken down in what I wrote, the structure matched the idea of longer, deeper evaluation after the phone screens. By the time the day was done, I understood they were looking for more sustained problem-solving rather than isolated answers.
