United StatesPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I moved through a DS/Algo tech screen that was LeetCode-medium, and then the rest of the loop became more varied.

A recruiter meeting came first to align on logistics, and then I had a virtual onsite that included algorithms, system design, behavioral, and coding.

The coding round was easy, which gave me a small boost early. After that, algorithms turned medium-to-hard, and the system design round ended up being the toughest. By the time I reached the behavioral part, it felt like the earlier technical difficulty had already set the tone for the full day.
