New York, NYPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process moved through a full sequence: first round, then second, third, fourth, and a final interview.

Each step focused heavily on me—talking through my background and walking through my résumé—so it felt like they were intentionally building a consistent story and checking how well I could explain it.

They also asked why I thought I’d be a fit for the role, and that theme came up multiple times as the rounds progressed. The overall experience was more about communication and alignment than technical depth. I didn’t end up with an offer, but the experience felt structured and thorough, and that thoroughness made the process feel fairly straightforward even when it took several stages.
