Menlo Park, CAPosted May 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through what felt like a full AI scientist-style loop.

It included a presentation of my research, then a mix of AI coding plus interviews inside and outside my domain, and I also had a behavioral conversation. ML fundamentals came up as well.

What made it especially difficult was the sheer number of rounds—seven interviews total. Each conversation carried its own weight, and the cumulative fatigue made every later step feel more intense than the first.

I didn’t get an offer. Even so, I walked away with the sense that the process was designed to test range, not just one narrow skill, and that made it feel genuinely challenging throughout.
