United StatesPosted Mar 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first step was a screening with a junior engineer that mixed basic technical questions with discussion of my background.

Then I was given a take-home assignment focused on designing a relational database in Python. After I turned that in, the interviews shifted into critique mode and became very direct.

In the next conversation, they heavily critiqued my design, which I could handle, but the tone came across as condescending rather than constructive. That was followed by a LeetCode-style hard problem with a manager, and I struggled through part of the solution while trying to ask clarifying questions. The manager response went quiet and, by the end, it felt like my questions weren’t really being engaged
