New York, NYPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interviews came in a fairly clean set of three rounds: a recruiter screen, then an hour-long technical screen, and then a longer onsite sequence that ran about four hours.

The onsite portion had four interviews total, and they covered system design, debugging, behavioral, and algorithms.

Everything felt pretty standard in how the rounds were framed and what they tested. The technical screen and onsite didn’t feel wildly random; there was a consistent theme around core software engineering skills—designing, reasoning through bugs, and handling algorithm-style problem solving.

I didn’t receive an offer. Even so, the overall arc felt coherent from step to step, which made it easier to stay engaged despite the length of the onsite day.
