Navan Software Engineer interview with CoderPad live coding and a one-hour manager round

After a recruiter call, I had about a week before the next step, which was a technical screen. It was a live coding session on CoderPad, where I worked through a LeetCode-style problem. The setup felt like solving the problem live while the clock was running, so I focused on reaching a correct solution instead of trying to make it fancy.

I then moved to a hiring manager round that lasted about an hour. The conversation centered on my background, the work I'd done, and how I approached the kind of project they were hiring for. The questions stayed tied to my current experience and the details of the work I'd described.

Overall, the process felt average in difficulty: straightforward, with some pressure from the live coding. I didn't get an offer, and I felt that I had reached the expected checkpoints without giving them enough of what they were looking for.

Location: Berlin. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: No offer.
