The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics in Oct 2016
Interview
Spoke with a recruiter on campus and then set up times to do a phone screening. The first phone screening didn't go too great, so they gave me a second phone screen. Both were 45 minutes. Other candidates who did well moved on to the onsite after only one phone screen though. I didn't pass the second phone screen and didn't move forward.
Both phone screens started with basic questions that then were turned into dynamic programming questions. About 20 minutes into the interview (after introductions, discussion of past work, and then the easy problem), they unveiled the DP problem with less than half an hour left.
I felt the questions were a little too rigorous for first round phone interviews in the time-span given, and doesn't reflect too great on their recruitment process. Other candidates were not asked DP questions over the phone.
Otherwise, the recruiter is very kind and both of my interviewers were pleasant to speak with.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Dynamic programming coin picking. Each player takes turns picking from a collection of coins. The game ends when all of the coins have been claimed, and the winner has the highest value. Program this game keeping in mind that each player wants to win.
1st stage technical online assessment, 3 problems to solve of different difficulty, 2 easy and one more advanced. 2nd stage 2 problems to solve during live coding session, not so difficult but you have to do it in most optimal way

1 task was sth about creating words from letters of another if i recall well
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics
Interview
The whole process was remote. I was referred by a friend who works here.
1. Chat with recruiter
2. Chat with hiring manager (behavioral questions)
3. Coding Question on hacker rank
4. System Design question - interviewer didn't turn on camera, said very little throughout the process
The recruiter told me that they had been slow in making a decision, that they will get back to me. They never got back to me.

Question 1
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake. How did you handle it?
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Provo, UT) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process was lengthy, consisting of more than six rounds across multiple stages. I successfully advanced through every interview and reached what I was told was the final system design round. After completing that interview, I was informed that the team still did not have enough signal on my front-end expertise and requested an additional front-end-focused system design interview.
What stood out to me was that this additional interview was conducted by an employee who stated during the interview that he was currently on paternity leave. The interview itself felt disconnected from typical front-end system design discussions and focused on a scenario that I found difficult to relate to real-world front-end engineering responsibilities. The expectations and evaluation criteria were not clear to me, making it challenging to understand what was being assessed.
After investing considerable time across more than six interview rounds and receiving positive feedback throughout the process, the late addition of another interview and the outcome of that final round left me feeling that the process lacked consistency. Overall, I found the interview experience to be much longer than expected and somewhat disjointed in its evaluation of front-end skills.
