I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HARVEY (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Reached out by a recruiter and I put it off until a month later. Did a coding screen and went to onsite. Really bummed I didn’t get the offer. I had lunch with the team and they took me out to a nice restaurant since there was some event going on that week in the office.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They got a bunch of new questions now so nothing you see on here is that helpful. I was asked a tree problem to rebalance a red black tree and they actually expect running code. System design was something completely unrelated like designing a car dealership management system. People I met was great but I did terrible. They are also heavy on what you do outside of work and seem to prefer people who excels at a hobby. Some employees are professional dancer or compete in some sports or high video game ranking so make sure you sound interesting and have a life outside of work.
A recruiter screen followed by a technical screen where it is an open ended live project without any AI allowed. Coding speed is a massive priority and doing it correctly is. There are multiple parts, and tripping up a single time can ruin the interview.
Phone screen - positive experience where they spin a LC problem as a little more practical real life example. Interviewer was very straightforward and did not waste much time. Started with background intro and went straight into problem.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HARVEY (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026
Interview
The process was quick. I was asked to do one coding round virtually. Everyone working there seems smart and knowledgeable. Interviewers were friendly. They have a lot of interesting problems to tackle.
