After I applied, a recruiter reached out and the process moved quickly into a technical conversation. I expected the recruiter to conduct the early screen, but an engineer joined instead. The exchange felt collaborative: I could ask questions, explain my thinking, and offer different approaches.
The technical work was mostly coding and problem solving. One session was a straightforward LeetCode-like exercise where I walked through my approach. Another was a longer-file debugging exercise with multiple bugs to find. Some interviewers were responsive enough that it seemed they wanted to see how I reasoned, not only whether I reached an answer.
The interviews felt fair but selective, and the timeline could be opaque. I waited weeks for recruiter follow-up in one period, then later received a quick not-selected signal after submitting a program I believed should have produced the correct output. I left without an offer, thinking the shifting format and unclear decisions were harder than raw difficulty.
Location: New York, NY. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
