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

I went through a process that felt a bit like rotating through pods rather than a single, consistent path.

After matching with multiple pod teams, each one had its own sequence where I’d get either a take-home or an online coding problem, and then I’d move into a phone interview with the PM.

Across the pods, the overall format stayed similar: coding first, PM conversation after. What surprised me was that the fit didn’t feel great—my experience didn’t seem to line up with what they were looking for, and that disconnect made the interviews feel more transactional than targeted.

The process didn’t lead to an offer, and the main emotion I walked away with was disappointment from that mismatch
