Four-Round Onsite, Probably Failed the HM Round

This should be the first onsite writeup for their company anywhere online. Overall it left a really good impression. The recruiter was very professional and moved things along and coordinated quickly, and the interviewers were great too. Everyone I met was very friendly and good at guiding me. The onsite was four rounds in total: HM + stats + case + coding. The HM round asked in a lot of detail,…

A SQL Rolling-Average Stumble on the Phone Screen

There aren't many interview reports about this company on the forum, so I'm sharing mine. It was a one-hour phone screen, split roughly half and half between SQL and experimentation.

I got stuck here — the interviewer's correct answer was that you n…

A Take-home Dataset Task, Then an Unresponsive SQL Screen

This company doesn't have an HR call. Right from the start they send you a dataset and have you do an analysis on it — pretty simple, takes an hour or two at most. After passing that, the first round is a phone screen. 45 minutes, just SQL and a product case. There were two interviewers.

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
