United StatesPosted Jun 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

Right after applying, I heard from a recruiter quickly, but getting hold of them after that was frustrating.

Once I was finally scheduled, the process became chaotic because the scheduling itself turned into the biggest stressor.

I ended up with four interviews total: a hiring manager call, two technical discussions, and a coding round. I had provided my availability for a week and it was scheduled accordingly—then my last, final-round interview got moved to an earlier date with only a day’s notice. I got the notification that my final round was moved to the very next day of receiving it, which seriously disrupted my preparation time.

The actual interviews were less problematic than the logistics.
