Interview
This interview process was the most thorough and dense experience I have ever had to go through with a company. 8+ hours of total interviews for them to unfortunately move on with other candidates with no feedback after the 4th round (including OA). The interviewers in the final technical assessment (6 hours long) seemed disinterested and offered no feedback on my code at all after the review of my solution, almost like they knew who they were going to move forward with before the interview started. The rest of the reviews are accurate, they will ask you to describe an elevator system specifically DSA in the 2nd round, and you will initially be given a leetcode style OA with 2 problems before speaking with the recruiter.

I applied online. I interviewed at Galatea Associates LLC (Boston, MA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Consisted of multiple screenings, Including a interview with a recruiter, and then an interview with two other associates. The final round consists of a long coding assignment. Overall the process was good but one of the interviewees was quite rude and dismissive. Overall not a great guy to talk to.
