San Francisco, CAPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview went in a tight chain of rounds.

I started with a LeetCode-style technical interview, then moved into a hiring manager conversation where we discussed my background and motivations and talked through next steps. The last part was more assignment-like: I had to implement a bunch of tasks on a provided document.

The process felt difficult overall. The coding round challenged my ability to translate requirements into a working approach, and the assignment-style portion raised the difficulty again because it wasn’t just about solving one problem—it was about implementing multiple tasks and keeping everything consistent.
