United StatesPosted May 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After an HR call, I got a schedule to block off time for a back-to-back set of interviews: a 45-minute behavioral/BQ section, covering questions about my project and other normal background questions, followed by about an hour of coding.

The coding was framed as a common algorithm problem, and the whole session ran consecutively rather than spaced out.

The intensity came from the pacing—there wasn’t much downtime between discussing my experience and then switching into pure problem-solving. Still, the structure felt organized, and I had a clear sense of when each part began and ended.

About a week later, I received an offer. I remember feeling relieved, but also realizing how much the combined format tests stamina and clarity. Getting through both parts strongly enough was the thing that ultimately mattered to me.
