United StatesPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview was short and focused, just long enough to get a snapshot of how I think.

I was asked to introduce myself, then we moved into two main questions: one probability problem and then one coding problem that involved a recursive or dynamic programming approach.

The difficulty felt average overall and paced such that I could work within about 45 minutes. I remember the setup being straightforward—just two questions with clear focus areas—and that made it easier to stay oriented during the session. Even so, I didn’t move forward afterward.
