Draper, UTPosted Jun 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with a recruiter phone screen and immediately felt intense.

After that, I was given a coding take-home assignment, followed by onsite Codepen-style challenges. Even before the technical parts, I didn’t love the vibe I got from the recruiter call—the same “bay area startup” talk came up over and over, and it made it feel like being outside that area meant something less about my ability. It wasn’t technical, but it threw me off.

On the technical side, the sequence was still fairly clear: the take-home coding task came first, and then I had additional coding rounds on Codepen when I got onsite. Overall, though, the tone stayed tied to that early
