I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Superhuman in Sep 2018
Interview
Reached out to the CEO, who then reached out to the VP of Engineering who then set up a code-pair video interview with one of the employees.
Question was interesting - initially went off in a wrong direction, but managed to solve it finally. The interviewer didn't seem very impressed. Didn't make it to the next round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a long string and a dictionary of accepted words, find if the string can be broken completely into a set of words given in the dictionary (this set should also be minimum, if multiple such sets exist).
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.
