New York, NYPosted Oct 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first step was an online assessment on HackerRank, and after that I went straight into a phone-style technical interview.

The technical portion was only one main conversation segment where we worked through a leetcode-like problem and then I answered follow-ups, but the discussion also pulled from my background.

From there I had multiple virtual onsite interviews, each lasting around forty-five minutes. The structure across those rounds felt fairly consistent: a technical focus with leetcode content, plus room for behavioral discussion woven in so they could learn how I’d think and communicate while coding. The questions weren’t always identical between rounds, but they stayed in the same general lane of data
