Process

Having been in the industry for a while, I've dealt with a lot of mostly terrible recruiters. But kudos to Upstart's recruiter, she was very attentive and responsive. Even when it got to the tricky business of negotiating offers, she was very supportive and transparent. From start to finish, it only took a couple of weeks, with decisions being made under 24 hours. Unfortunately, my recruiter was just filling in until a new recruiter was hired, so your mileage may vary.

As for the actual interview, it was mostly the same as others, featuring a few algorithm questions, a few implementation questions, and a few system design questions.
