Chicago Heights, ILPosted Jul 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The interview journey felt like it went well overall, but it still had a couple of genuinely tricky moments that made the rounds feel sharper than a typical screen.

There was a behavioral segment where a few questions didn’t land as easily as I wanted, even though I think I handled most of it.

On the technical side, most of what I was asked came back to coding concepts and problem-solving, and the language focus was C and C++. That combination—behavioral pressure paired with coding-in-C/C++—is what made the experience harder than it sounded at first. I left the sessions with the impression that I was close, but not perfectly aligned with what they wanted, and I didn’t receive an offer.
