United StatesPosted May 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The coding interviews were the hardest part for me because the feedback focused heavily on very fine-grained details.

Even when I used appropriate data structures and algorithms, the interviewers corrected minutiae in a way that felt stricter than what I expected from an artificial scenario.

I left with the sense that they were evaluating how I reasoned through every edge and implementation detail—almost like I was writing code meant to ship to production, not just solve a puzzle. I didn’t move forward, but I understood why the round felt so demanding once I experienced that level of scrutiny.
