I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Temu (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
1st Leetcode focused Tech interview, 2 medium
2nd Manager interview, mostly going over past project experience and domain expertise
3rd HRBP, going over past education bg, work experience, reason for moving, salary expectation
The experience was really really bad, I passed all interview rounds and got all positive feedbacks, and then get declined after discussing about expected salaries. It's just a waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked a lot about my past experience, education + working, then asked some easy technical questions.

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on linkedin. One call with recruiter to assess job fit then the hiring manager call with coding challenge. It was isValidBST straight from leetcode, all nodes in left have to be strictly less and all nodes in right have to be strictly greater. Absolutely awful experience like I saw in some glassdoor/indeed reviews. The "code editor" they give you is blocked from running code and from any syntax highlighting etc. it's just a text editor. Interviewer barely said anything during the whole process and asked me to fix syntax issues without any syntax highlighting etc. like anyone seriously does that in real life. Don't even bother wasting your time.
