The interview process at Marqeta was very well-structured and transparent. It included six rounds — starting with a HackerRank coding assessment, followed by behavioral and technical rounds including system design, a pair programming session, and a final chat with the hiring manager. Everyone I spoke with was kind, professional, and genuinely interested in understanding how I think and communicate, not just my coding ability. Recruiters like Kayla made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and Andy (the manager) was supportive and open during our conversations.
