Washington, DCPosted Nov 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I mainly saw early-stage screening formats—short HR-style conversations that were straightforward, with the process sometimes feeling disjointed or very brief.

Phone screen / recruiter overview — A call covering company/role/benefits/salary, plus basic questions like “tell me about yourself” and what I did previously.
HR + hiring manager + technical blocks (one described path) — HR screened interests and expectations, the hiring manager explored soft skills, and later steps included coding/system design and an offer stage.
HR + hiring manager — Basic questions about my resume and background, plus an expectation that I understand the field.
HR screen captured answers awkwardly — A short, choppy session where answers were typed
