Software Engineer

Applied online. A recruiter emailed me and gave me a week to complete the first-round HackerRank. It was a 1-hour assessment with NumberLogic, Beat the Odds, and Zap-N. The questions were honestly pretty hard and felt more like speed/logic/problem-solving under pressure than a normal coding screen.

Process was not great on the communication side. I sent a couple clarification emails and never got a response. After I finished the test, I didn’t hear back, so I was basically ghosted after the first round.

Since I only did the OA, I can’t really say much about later rounds, the office, or the team culture firsthand. My impression from the process was that they care a lot about speed, accuracy, and being able to figure things out on your own, but the candidate experience felt pretty impersonal.

Practice timed problem-solving. The time pressure matters a lot. Also don’t expect much recruiter communication.
