After applying online, I started with an online assessment and then moved into a superday-style loop where everything felt tightly packed. My superday had two technical interviews and one behavioral session. The technical parts leaned heavily on LeetCode medium-to-hard style algorithm and data structure problems, and I was expected not just to code, but to talk through my solution and reasoning as I worked.
A big theme was optimization and making tradeoffs under pressure. I also ran into the typical Roblox “games” angle that shows up as a problem-solving layer—when the tasks were unclear or the instructions felt unintuitive, that slowed me down even if the coding part was manageable. Overall the process felt difficult, fast-moving, and very focused on how I thought, not just whether I got the final answer.

My first real surprise was how technical the phone screen turned out to be. It ran about forty-five minutes and went straight into system design instead of anything light. I was asked to design a leaderboard service, and at first it caught me off guard—then I realized I was basically following a structure I had practiced recently. After that, the technical rounds felt intense and focused on DSA and scalability concerns.
Across the loop, the expectation was that I could translate my approach into working code and also handle the “how would this scale” angle without getting stuck. The overall process stretched out enough that it didn’t feel like a quick screening anymore; it felt like multiple layers checking different parts of the same engineering ability.
