United StatesPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My path for the Software Engineer role had three main steps: a recruiter call, a hiring manager interview, and a technical portion.

The hiring manager interview ended up being mostly behavioral, which made it feel more like how I’d work day to day than a deep technical evaluation.

The technical round came after that, and it was fairly direct: I was given two questions that felt like they mapped to LeetCode-tagged topics. The whole process felt balanced between soft-skill screening and practical problem solving.

I didn’t end up with an offer, but the experience was smooth and straightforward. What stood out most was how they separated behavioral evaluation from the coding questions rather than blending everything
