United StatesPosted Mar 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with an online assessment that was a bit challenging, but I managed to pass it.

The next round was focused on a single technical question centered on data structures, and I overcomplicated it even though I understood the core idea—I was rejected after that. The final stage was described as multiple back-to-back interviews, and that structure added pressure because it felt like you had very little room to recover between questions. Overall it felt like the middle rounds were where things turned.
