Codesignal take home
Behavorial interview with an engineering manager
Final round onsite in NYC or virtual onsite - 4 parts: Architecture, coding, PM convo, EM convo 45 min to 1 hour each
Recruiter emailed me to set up a phone call 2 days after the onsite, which turned out to be a rejection phone call with specific feedback from each interview. The feedback was appreciated but not going to lie, I was expecting an offer when they asked to speak over the phone instead of a stock rejection email. So the personal touch was both misleading while somewhat appreciated?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the onsite, the system design involved coming up with data modeling, API design, and system design for a JIRA or Kanban type board. For me, I needed more experience with APIs and endpoints, and also how to store this type of data (like what kind of tables to use for this ticket-column-board structure). The coding interview involved debuggging a purposely confusing script for printing manager-employee relationships and identifying how it could be improved.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview experience was positive and well-organized. The interviewer was professional and clearly explained the role, team structure, and expectations. The conversation was informative and provided helpful insight into the company and its interview process.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
First call was with a senior engineer asking HR questions? Code signal assessment afterwards which asked you to do a lot in under 90 mins. Using map of maps, sorting, lots of tedious things. You have to finish each question in order (no skipping around). Did not even have to decency to send an automated rejection email. Just ghosted me after. Don’t waste your time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Justworks in Jan 2026
Interview
1. Recruiter Call
2. Online Assessment
3. Hiring Manager Call
4. ~4 hour Onsite
It was lengthy, and honestly I feel if you are going to have a long interview process, then you might as well split the 4 hour interview into multiple days, and make it online, with a shorter onsite.

Question 1
Typical Behavioral Questions
For the tech questions, they're pretty easy, dont overthink it. I feel nerves will play a bigger factor than difficulty.
