Newport Beach, CAPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interviews were challenging and leaned technical even when framed as behavioral, with short-answer formats and detailed finance/theory questioning.

HireVue (short prep, timed responses) — I faced a six-question recorded interview with very limited prep time.
Technical + behavioral handoff — I then moved into live interviews where one part was technical and one was largely behavioral.
Complex options/finance reasoning — In one case, I was asked advanced option theory inside a behavioral conversation.
Data structures / technical interview focus — Another experience emphasized common CS/data structure distinctions (like arrays vs. linked lists and hash maps), plus deeper questioning.
