New York, NYPosted May 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with an online coding test where I could choose any language.

The level was described as hard, and the time window was very short, so it was a high-pressure sprint.

The prompts were based on classic math and programming-style problems, similar to what you’d find on well-known coding practice platforms. What made it especially tough was that there was no path to further steps after the test—if you didn’t perform well, that was essentially the end.

I didn’t receive an offer. My honest reflection was that the combination of hard problems and minimal time meant there was little room for mistakes, and the whole test felt like a single decisive evaluation.
