United StatesPosted Feb 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview started by going through items on my resume, then shifting into situational questions about how I’d handle different scenarios.

The technical portion leaned heavily toward coding, tied directly to the kinds of areas I had already listed as experience.

Overall it felt like they were trying to confirm I could translate my background into practical implementation, not just talk in generalities. The coding emphasis made the interview feel more hands-on than I expected given that it began with resume-based questions.

I didn’t get an offer, and the final impression was that they were looking for stronger coding confirmation during the process rather than a broad discussion of engineering concepts.
