United StatesPosted Dec 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a recruiter got in touch, I scheduled a hiring-manager interview within a week.

The interview split into two halves: first we talked about projects from my resume, then the second half turned into live coding on CoderPad.

It felt like a fairly balanced setup—show and tell for my experience up front, followed by proving technical execution afterward. I didn’t include detailed topics beyond that, but the structure itself was clear.

I didn’t get an offer, yet the process felt coherent rather than disjointed: the coding component came after the discussion, and it was easy to understand what each half was meant to evaluate.
