Austin, TXPosted Aug 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first conversation was a phone interview that had a clear mix: it started with basic data structure and low-level software questions, then it shifted into behavioral topics like my past internships and the kinds of projects I’d worked on.

The technical part didn’t feel like deep research problems, but it was still meant to see whether I could reason through core concepts.

After the behavioral portion, the interview surprised me with what felt like random trivia tied to topics such as OOP, databases, and even Python. It made the call feel broader than I expected, but in a way that was still coherent—like they wanted to confirm I wasn’t only strong in one narrow lane. The overall difficulty matched the “easy” label I’d associate with it, because nothing went wildly off the rails; it was more about breadth than depth.
