Recruiter screen then hiring manager interview with behavioral questions as well as technical questions about resume. Hiring manager interview included system design part as well. Overall it was a good experience and process.
Received an invite from a recruiter for a hiring manager interview. Interview with the hiring manager was standard procedure, half behavioral questions with half the time spent towards a systems design question. Never heard back from the recruiter after meeting, despite reaching out directly.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blend in Apr 2025
Interview
The process was as follows: 30 min intro meeting with recruiter, 30 min intro meeting with hiring manager, 1 hr technical interview, 45 min technical interview/behavioral, offer. The interviewers throughout the technical interviews were collaborative and you can bounce ideas off them to figure things out.
