Glean (CA) Software Engineer interview where timing decided the outcome

Glean (CA)·Software Engineer·Reported Dec 2025

The interview process felt smooth from start to finish. The recruiter was responsive, and communication during the interviews went well. I stayed engaged and clear while working through the questions.

The interview fell in the difficult range. The main issue was timing: I couldn't solve the question within the allotted time. The interview wasn't chaotic or confusing. It felt more like a performance check where time mattered.

I didn't receive an offer. The hardest part to sit with was that I could communicate, but I still couldn't finish to the standard they wanted. The people I interacted with made the experience positive, even though the result came down to solving quickly enough.

Location: Palo Alto, CA. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
