United StatesPosted May 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced a typical Discord multi-step process with one strong technical moment, but the overall difficulty felt uneven and contributed to a no-offer outcome.

Recruiter/HR screen — a phone screen focused on my background.
Technical interview — a senior engineer session where I was asked to implement a service-style solution rather than pure LeetCode.
Behavioral / hiring manager interview — a separate conversation that felt poorly handled; the interviewer was late and appeared not to have read my resume, which made engagement drop.
Final onsite coding — on later attempts, I also encountered a very challenging final-round coding segment that was hard to finish in time.
Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, and my takeaway
