I applied online. I interviewed at Superhuman in Dec 2024
Interview
I had a call with the recruiter to determine if I am a good fit, followed by:
1. A tech round, with Leetcode-style questions
2. A virtual onsite with (a) system design (b) behavioral round (c) backend-specific questions. I signed an NDA so I cannot reveal the exact questions I was asked.
Overall I had a positive experience, my interviewers were friendly and largely asked me questions that could in some way be relevant to the company's work. My recruiter was fantastic, sending me prep materials but also earnestly rooting for me throughout.
They also gave me 3 months free of Grammarly Premium which I started using in emails, docs, LinkedIn messages, and more - very thoughtful!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Leetcode medium question about strings. There were two questions, and the second was trickier, but involved a good grasp of basic data structures.
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.

Question 1
Talk about 2 previous projects. What was the impact, outcome, complications, how did you collaborate, etc.
I had a very positive interview experience. The process was smooth from start to finish, and the recruiter was incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. The interviewers were knowledgeable, supportive, and made the conversations feel engaging rather than stressful. Overall, it was a well-organized process and a great experience.

Question 1
High Level discussion about 2 projects - What choice did you make, why did you choose it, what would be the alternative, scalability
The process was relatively straightforward. The interview started with brief introductions and then continued with three leetcode questions to complete within the hour. Interview was communicative and gave hints when needed.
