I applied online. I interviewed at Grant Street Group in June 2025
Interview
The first step is they send you a coding assessment with a SQL challenge and a coding challenge in your preferred language. The coding challenge was hard, I wont give it away, but I will just say that it would be best break down the challenge into a bunch of smaller problems to solve and then combine. The next step was a coding challenge with a tech lead, and a more casual interview. The tech lead responded to questions, offered some thoughts and subtle hints. The next phase was 4 back to back interviews with a HR person, two engineers, and then a relational database design challenge with and engineer and a PM. The interviews with the engineers went shorter than anticipated, they didnt have many questions between them. This may have been my weakest of the 4 interviews because I would consider making separate tables for things that may have made more sense to store in a single table. A day later after the 4 interviews, I got a rejection letter.

Interview
The first round is a online assessment, where there is 2 leetcode medium questions and one database question. If you pass then they will invite you to the 2nd round with a technical recruiter. It will be a live coding assessment where you are to answer a leetcode medium while he watches you. If you make it pass this then you will invite you to a onsite interview to meet the team.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Grant Street Group (Pittsburgh, PA) in Mar 2024
Interview
I had a very disappointing experience with the interview process. The culture felt poor and unwelcoming, which raised concerns about the work environment. If you have other options, I would recommend passing on this opportunity.

Question 1
Do you prefer working in a diverse environment, or do you feel more comfortable with people who share similar backgrounds and perspectives?
Response from our President: It is unthinkable that anyone at Grant Street, and especially an interviewer, would ask such a stupid interview question as the one you allege. With regard to Grant Street’s culture, it is the one respect in which we receive more compliments than any other. Are you sure you aren’t confusing us with another company you interviewed with?
