Process

I did a set of interviews in summer '25. The interviews were not that difficult, mostly problems you'll face in real life. The interviewers themselves were mostly nice, although a couple seemed like they didn't care and weren't very involved in the process.

I got rejected due to two sections having "mixed signals": one was generic "not deep enough," and the other didn't like the approach to solving a problem (it was solved on time anyway). Funnily enough, I got praised for using the same approach in another section. Mixed signals also came from people who wouldn't have been on the same team.

It would be nice if interviewers were aligned on evaluation criteria; otherwise, it becomes a guessing game.

Other than that, it was a positive experience, and the rejection was delivered by phone, not a generic email.

Questions

Some very down-to-earth problem on the coding section; I was pleasantly surprised.

Unfamiliar algo problem, more like medium-hard.

And a data modeling exercise.
