After an online assessment and recruiter call, I was scheduled for an onsite-style loop. From assessment to decision, the process took around three months. The evaluation was split among multiple interviewers and felt consistent and deliberate.
The onsite loop ran in one stretch. I had a bar-raiser round, a DSA-heavy round, and a low-level design round. Each interview lasted about an hour. The subjects did not feel repetitive: coding and problem solving came up in one slot, and deeper design in another. The bar raiser made leadership judgment feel as important as technical performance.
I heard back within a week of the interviews and received an offer. I was relieved after such a long, high-effort process, though I carried a lot of mental fatigue by the final round. The leadership framing and design depth made it feel like a broader engineering evaluation than algorithm practice alone.
Location: United States. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: Got offer.
