Everyone I interacted with was very amicable and I could see myself working well with them. Although I did acceptable on the preliminary coding assessment, the coding portion during the final interview "on-site" was very challenging to complete in the given timeframe. I did appreciate that they were willing to share feedback with me when I was rejected after the final interview round.

Interview
phone screen, AI allowed interview. Pretty sure I failed this because I let the AI do the system design for me, and just agreed with what it had. Practice system design before going in.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Discord (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Recruiter screen, technical screen, virtual onsite with 4 rounds (two technical, 2 behavioral). Overall experience was good, recruiters were kind and had a quick turnaround for updates. They even gave a doordash gift card for interviewing with them,

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discord in Jun 2025
Interview
I was not at all impressed by the interview process. The recruiter is slow to work with, and even if they do get you scheduled, the technical screen is pretty much pointless. Even if you arrive at a good solution, you may or may not move onto the six-round onsite.
I moved onto the technical screen call and did exactly what the interviewer wanted me to, yet was unable to move onto the onsite round. I did not enjoy the interview, really, as it was more of a coding monkey challenge.. not much back and forth discussion.
