United StatesPosted Mar 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a phone screening that included a programming exercise in C, I moved into an in-person interview that spanned the entire day.

The in-person portion involved four separate teams, and the time commitment was heavy enough that it felt less like a single interview and more like a full-day evaluation.

The overall setup was intense and difficult, partly because of the sheer number of people and checkpoints across teams. I had to keep my focus steady for hours as the questions and expectations came from different groups.

I didn’t end up getting an offer. The part that stayed with me wasn’t just the difficulty of the technical side—it was how long the process ran and how many distinct teams I had to impress in one day.
