I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Superhuman (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. We had an initial phone screen where the recruiter described the company and the role they were trying to fill. Then we discussed my background and what I was interested in. I didn't think the job was a good fit but I appreciated having a chance to find out more about the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your experience. What are you looking for in your next role?
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.
