“What stood out most was the interviewer straight up told me the culture at Scale is “pretty like 996,” which you usually never hear that openly. And the rounds were super speed focused, like two interval-style problems in one hour.”
“The wild part was that they basically put me through the same bar as software engineering, then only later figured out whether I fit FDE.”
