PolandPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a backend-focused process with a take-home followed by two deeper technical interviews, and it felt average to work through over a longer multi-step timeline.

Hiring manager / HR / VP of Engineering — I met with key stakeholders before technical deep dives.
Take-home task — The assignment was described as fairly straightforward.
Technical interview 1 — I walked through systems I had designed and managed, then answered an algorithmic question.
Technical interview 2: 2-hour system design — I worked through design for three different systems, covering trade-offs, optimizations, and reasoning.
Outcome: I didn’t move forward, but the technical depth and structure were clear.
