United StatesPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a structured set of stages: a recruiter screening, a 60-minute virtual technical interview, then an onsite that included two or more rounds.

The onsite coding rounds used medium to hard LeetCode-style problems and emphasized both code quality and speed, which made the pressure feel real.

After coding, I had a system design round and then a behavioral/culture fit discussion. I also had a coffee chat as part of the loop, which gave me an extra layer of human conversation outside the scored rounds.

In the end, I didn’t get an offer. Still, the process felt complete and deliberate—like they were checking for both execution and how I fit culturally, not just whether I could solve one coding question.
