New York, NYPosted Oct 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went into the process feeling like I could handle the algorithms side, but the technical interviews threw me off with how much linear algebra came up.

I’d describe it as being pushed into the mathy details more than I expected, even though my own sense was that my average algorithms and data structures foundation was fine.

The conversation style felt helpful and guided at times, which made it less intimidating to work through the content even when it was unfamiliar. I ultimately didn’t end up with an offer, but the most memorable part was realizing that the role’s difficulty wasn’t only programming—it was being comfortable with the kind of linear algebra they wanted you to use.
