PolandPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a pretty structured set of five interviews: a recruiter screening, a technical screening via Karat, a live coding round, a system design interview, and then a team-fit conversation.

The difficulty felt high, but the questions were still closely tied to what the job would involve.

The live coding and DSA-focused parts were very LeetCode-aligned, and I leaned on LeetCode practice as my main preparation. Karat felt retakable, which was a small relief compared to having everything on one shot. By the time I reached system design and team fit, it felt like the process was genuinely measuring different skills rather than throwing in random topics. Even though I didn’t end up with an offer, the overall sense I got was that the interviews were on point for the role.
