United StatesPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For the New Grad track, my tech screen lasted about an hour and was focused on a tree-based problem.

The prompt was based on something like LeetCode content from within the last six months, and the interviewer wanted me to be very explicit about my thought process before I started coding.

As I coded, I was expected to explain what each line was doing, not just read from the solution. There was also a shadow interviewer present, which added a bit of pressure because it felt like my clarity was being observed closely throughout.

I didn’t get an offer. Even though the structure was clear, the combination of tree complexity and having to talk line by line made the round feel more demanding
