AmsterdamPosted Jun 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The process I went through was mapped out as six steps, and even though I ultimately didn’t get the offer, it felt fairly clear and consistent.

I liked that it wasn’t confusing or chaotic, and the communication made it easier to understand what each stage was trying to assess.

On the technical side, the challenges didn’t seem too big at first glance, almost like they were easier than they would be in reality. The biggest takeaway for me was thinking about scalability—what might look manageable in a prompt still needs to hold up as systems grow.

Overall, the experience felt average in difficulty and reasonable in structure. I didn’t succeed at the end, but I kept the impression that the process itself was fair rather than random.
