United StatesPosted Oct 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the software engineer role in a sequence that mixed practical technical assessments with hands-on style questioning, and the experience varied a lot depending on interviewer engagement.

Recruiter screen (phone) — early conversation about my background.
Panel / group interview (online teams) — a structured call with a panel and standard initial questions.
Onsite (supervisor/manager/director + tour, ~3 hours total) — interviews plus a shop tour.
Mandatory technical presentation — a required presentation paired with the rest of the onsite schedule.
Additional technical assessment — in other loops I saw math/coding short problems, or conceptual questions (including physics-flavored curveballs), sometimes with pseudocode.
