United StatesPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My technical round was the kind of set-up that immediately raised the stakes: three questions, starting from LeetCode medium and escalating to hard.

The topics included string and array manipulation as well as graphs.

The interviewer didn’t really help or guide me, and that made it feel more like I was expected to drive the problem-solving end-to-end on my own. I had to rely on my own reasoning when I hit obstacles.

Even though I didn’t pass to an offer, I appreciated how clearly the difficulty level was signposted. It was a tough round, and the no-support style made it even more challenging in the moment.
