United StatesPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I ended up facing a tougher, high-pressure setup: two rounds total, and the technical discussion was with a panel of five people.

The session lasted about 1.5 hours, and it was genuinely stressful because the conversation was extremely in-depth.

Nearly every question was drawn from my resume, and it wasn’t at a surface level. They went through my background section by section and asked deeper follow-ups on the details I’d written. It felt like they wanted to verify I truly understood what I claimed, not just that I could give a quick summary.

I didn’t receive an offer, and the overall feeling was that the interview was intense enough to leave little room for recovery if I stumbled on any specifics.
