Santa Monica, CAPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The interview process was online and short—about 40 minutes total—and it focused on basic data structures and algorithms.

The format was essentially what I expected, but it still wasn’t easy.

I felt the need for a lot of knowledge and I realized fairly quickly I wasn’t as strong as I thought at that moment. The round pushed me to work through fundamentals rather than relying on intuition.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, and the biggest reflection for me was that I wasn’t prepared enough on the core DSA concepts at the time.
