I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CoreWeave in Aug 2025
Interview
Pretty straightforward, had a recruiter screen which went well, and then a coding assesment. The coding assesment was 1 hour and pretty straightforward, although it wasn't a typical leetcode style question, they tend to ask something a little more practical. The recruiters and interviewers were knowledgeable and nice, no issues for me.
