Seattle, WAPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied through an employee referral, and the overall process took about a week.

When I interviewed in Seattle around October 2025, the process felt organized, but the technical portion was tough given how little time I had.

The challenge was demonstrating problem-solving fully within the time limit. The interviewer stayed professional and clear, but the task required both design and implementation, which made it feel rushed toward the end.

I didn’t get an offer. The experience itself wasn’t chaotic, but the timing pressure on a combined design-plus-coding problem made it hard to show everything I could do.
