Tech screens and onsite (mostly) was tough but fair. Only negative I would call out was the system design interview. The interviewer was not a strong english speaker and it was very hard to work out what they were saying and communicate during the deep dives. In the end, couldn't even decipher what they wanted
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
q. code a file storage system to get/put via paths
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.
