      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Headspace in May 2025

      Interview

      Being a mental health wellness product, this company is the definition of irony. Expect a laborious, time-consuming interview process lasting 3+ months. 1st round - recruiter. 2nd round - Karat interview. 3rd round - 2-4 hours of back-to-back coding panel interviews. It took many weeks to schedule each round too. The recruiter themselves even mentioned that the process was botched and they had other candidates walk out, but "it's just the standard way things are in the industry." Everyone was highly inflexible and had typical corporate vibes. On-the-job reviews are pretty bad in Glassdoor if you read up more. The fact that they can see these reviews and still don't change shows how much they care about their employees. Not worth applying - especially with so many better jobs out there. This place is so obviously a sinking ship,

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard coding questions related to the tech stack. It wasn't the questions that were hard, rather the overall interview process and how many questions they asked.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Headspace in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Phone screen: recruiter was a bit late, but otherwise this was a pretty standard phone screen. However, the recruiter mentioned that the job posting was no longer accurate in terms of in-office expectations, which was disappointing 2nd round: Karat interview, which hopefully I’ll never do again— the interviewer was only focused on moving quickly through the process and clearly wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing, which I found distracting

      Basic REST api questions and some leetcode problems on the easier side

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Headspace in May 2025

      Interview

      For the second-round technical interview, Headspace used a 3rd party service called Karat, where a live person asked me some system design questions and then accompanied me in a coding challenge. Karat made it was very easy to schedule whenever I had the time, and the person I interviewed with was very friendly and helpful.

      They asked me questions around different system design scenarios.
