Glean (CA) Backend Engineer interview: multiple one-hour DSA rounds

I started with an introductory round with the hiring manager and then met with the head of engineering. After that came multiple coding and DSA rounds, each lasting around an hour. The setup felt condensed but clear. They moved from conversation into hands-on technical evaluation pretty quickly.

The process was described as difficult, and the structure reflected that. Instead of one challenge, I did several rounds of DSA-style work, which meant staying sharp through repeated problem-solving attempts.

I wasn’t offered the role. The ending didn’t surprise me because the process was heavily technical and carried consistent pressure across the rounds. Looking back, the conversations with the head of engineering and hiring manager set the tone early. This wasn’t a casual screening. It was meant to evaluate depth.

Location: Bengaluru. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
