San Francisco, CACandidate report, summarized by Dataford

A recruiter reached out first, and I replied with the details they asked for. After that, I joined an online technical session that ran long—starting around an hour and extending toward two—so it didn’t feel like a quick check-in; it felt like an actual evaluation.

The technical questions leaned heavily on LeetCode-style puzzles, and the interaction felt efficient and well run. I appreciated how promptly people communicated and how clearly the process was handled. After the main technical part, there was a multi-stage final interview flow, and then I waited to hear back from the recruiter
