The interview had four rounds: 1. An initial screening with analytical puzzles, past-project deep dives, and situational consulting scenarios. 2. A take-home assignment to build an end-to-end Factory Copilot combining computer vision for part-defect inspection with a RAG pipeline over internal SOPs. 3. A technical defense covering the assignment’s architecture, design trade-offs, and horizontal-scaling strategies. 4. A final hiring-manager round focused on behavioral fit and employment history. The candidate reported being rejected over behavioral questions and the handling of career gaps. ### Instinctools — Data Engineer · Senior / L5 [Read the Instinctools experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/instinctools-senior-data-engineer-interview-25ca60) Shared 18 days ago. The process covered SQL and BigQuery performance, dbt pipelines, data modeling, Airflow, data quality, Python, debugging, cost, and cloud platforms. Scenarios included late-arriving attribution data, restated ad-network spend, backfills, and duplicate investigation during an attribution-pipeline migration. The candidate found the questions practical and scenario-based, with follow-up questions and the ability to pause and take time to think. They felt strongest on dbt pipeline design, data-quality testing and investigation, and marketing-data modeling. They reported that the screen continued displaying earlier questions while new questions were asked by voice, that a check-in question was repeated, and that the instruction to turn away from the screen was confusing. The session ran about 10 minutes over schedule. They identified BigQuery partition-pruning behavior and query-plan metrics as areas needing sharper answers and had no opportunity to ask about the team or project. ### Discord — Software Engineer · Senior / L5 [Read the Discord experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/discord-senior-software-engineer-interview-6b9a6e) Shared 1 month ago. The candidate was allowed to use AI during the first screening technical interview. The remaining process included system design, two coding interviews, a project retrospective, and behavioral interviews; the candidate was still interviewing with the rest of the team. ### Deloitte — AI Engineer [Read the Deloitte AI Engineer experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/deloitte-ai-engineer-interview-1e0816) Shared 1 month ago.

The process took about three weeks end to end. It included a recruiter screen, a TTL-cache phone screen, and a five-round onsite consisting of one coding round, two behavioral engineering-manager rounds, data modeling, and system design. The candidate said the technical rounds were mostly straightforward when explaining trade-offs, while the behavioral rounds were more difficult. The candidate emphasized ads-domain fluency, including ads serving, demand, targeting, and capping, and was still waiting for a decision. ### Capital One — Software Engineer · Senior / L5 [Read the Capital One experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/capital-one-senior-software-engineer-interview-7a64af) Shared 6 months ago.

After entering through a referral, the candidate completed a short recruiter screen, a high-level hiring-manager conversation focused mainly on their resume and background, and a five-interview super round. The case interviews covered success metrics, product design, a card-usage drop-off case, improving a favored product, and wireframing improvements for the Coinbase trading dashboard. The candidate reached the final round, requested feedback, and did not receive a response. ### Sorting Robotics — Software Engineer · Intern [Read the Sorting Robotics experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/sorting-robotics-software-engineer-intern-interview-09b961) Shared 10 months ago.
