San Francisco, CAPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview pipeline started with a first round that used the GCF online assessment, and then I went into a recruiter phone screening.

After that, there was a LeetCode-medium style coding round.

The final round was behavioral and team match, and overall the process felt good even though it wasn’t easy. The hardest part was clearly the technical interview, and it was the segment that required the most effort from me. I didn’t end up receiving an offer, but the overall journey had a constructive feel, especially compared with processes that feel chaotic.
