“My interview process included a recruiter screen, technical coding interviews, and a final behavioral and problem-solving round. What went well was that the interviewers were clear, collaborative, and gave me opportunities to explain my thinking. I also felt strong when discussing tradeoffs and working through ambiguous problems. What did not go as well was my time management on one coding question—I spent too long refining my first approach instead of moving quickly to a working solution. Overall, the process was challenging but positive, and it helped me identify areas to improve.”
“I went into the decomposition round expecting a consulting case, and that was the exact wrong frame. What they really cared about was whether I could take a huge messy problem, turn it into data and logic, and bring them along for the ride.”
