Interview
Interviewed in February 2024 for Software Engineer - 2024 New Grad position.
I had previously interviewed for a summer internship with them in the past with a referral so the same recruiter reached out to me and asked some basic questions about my graduation date, work authorization, and interest areas. They have a nice website portal with practice examples that I went through as well as a detailed outline of the whole process. Unfortunately, I did not make it pass the initial CodeSignal screening assessment. I had thought that it would be the same General Coding Assessment (GCA) that other companies reuse, but it seems that this one was their own questions and was a bit trickier.

There were an excessive amount of rounds with a high difficulty of questions for a new grad role. Everyone I spoke too was very friendly though! Study hard and you may be okay.
Asked me two leetcode hard style questions and I knew it was over for me. Interviewer was nice and tried to guide me along the right path but the question just wasnt clicking with me.
