United StatesPosted Feb 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with an online assessment, followed by a technical phone interview with an engineer and then another one-hour technical interview with a second engineer for the final round.

Everyone I spoke with was friendly and the whole schedule felt smooth, even though I didn’t end up receiving an offer despite feeling like I did well. What also stood out was how long the wait for feedback took—there was a promise to respond within a week, but it stretched to about a month before I heard back. That slow turnaround, combined with the competitive outcome, made the end of it feel a bit deflating.
