Cambridge, MAPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

One part of the process that caught me off guard was how vague the job description was, and then how vague the talk prompt was later.

I eventually understood why: they were filtering applicants because resumes were getting tailored by AI at scale.

Even though the ambiguity initially felt strange, once I learned the reason behind it, I actually thought it was a clever approach. It changed how I interpreted the lack of detail—I stopped viewing it as negligence and started viewing it as a screening mechanism.

In the end, I didn’t receive an offer. Still, that single surprising element made the process feel less random than it first appeared, even if I didn’t move forward.
