J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Benchling (San Francisco, CA) en août 2025
Entretien
The first round is a coding interview with coderpad.
The key for success is to read their candidate packet thoroughly to understand the type of coding problem and the data example to be used in the interview,
Went well, very organized. Recruiter call and then coding interview (non-leetcode, more practical problem solving question). Very human, nice, and cooperative on all aspects of the process. Would interview again!
Lengthy and difficult interview process. Make sure to brush up on those leetcode hards and you should be good. Had an initial recruiter call which went through basic behavioral questions.
