Forward Deployed Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
The process was well organized and the interviewers were collaborative. I did well when thinking aloud and adapting to new information. I could have managed time better during the unfamiliar-codebase round.

Why does your solution need to be built, and what changes for the user if it works?
Interview tips
Practice medium-level coding problems, reading unfamiliar code, debugging under time pressure, and open-ended system design. Be ready to explain every decision and connect your solution to the customer outcome.
Company culture
The culture came across as direct, fast-moving, and ownership-driven. The team seemed comfortable challenging assumptions while still making the interviews collaborative.

“Phone screen and first coding technical was easy, the hardest part for me was the SQL learning, I've never used SQL prior”
“Technical interview was enjoyable since it was less so rigorous LeetCode-style problems, and more practical coding to implement particular features. Prioritize a working solution over an unfinished, optimized code.”
