Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Superhuman in Dec 2025
Interview
I have to say, this was genuinely the best hiring experience I've ever been through. Yes, it took quite a while, but it was totally worth it.
During the process, I got to meet so many different people from Grammarly, and each conversation gave me a better sense of what the company is really about, not just what's on the website, but the actual day-to-day culture. It was refreshing to get such a well-rounded view.
The Talent Acquisition team was just amazing. Super empathetic, always willing to help, and genuinely cared about making the whole experience as smooth as possible. Whenever I had questions or concerns, they responded very quickly. Communication was clear, and everyone was professional yet personable.
Really excited to be joining a company that treats people this well from day one!
Interview
The interview process had five rounds: first, an HR screening, then a Computer Science fundamentals interview, a conversation with the Hiring Manager, a technical interview, and finally, a deep dive into one of my past projects. They also had a System Design interview, but it was skipped because I was applying for a junior position.
During the whole process, the HR team was very supportive, quick to respond, and kind. I especially liked getting feedback right after each interview stage. It kept me informed and made waiting between rounds much less stressful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project you're most proud of and explain your contributions, the challenges you faced, and the impact of your work.
1 phone screen -> onsite: 1 coding, 1 system design, and 1 technical deep dive
The initial recruiter call goes over the role and interview process. After the initial phone screen, you get connected with a second recruiter who handles the remaining process (on site, team matching, leveling). For full stack roles, I was given the choice of backend focused coding or system design. Whichever one I didn’t choose for backend would be the frontend focused interview.
The process was overall very efficient and the recruiters were responsive throughout. They also help prepare you for each interview.
