  • Karat Software Engineer interview with live DS&A and platform feedbackKarat · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jun 2026

    After I received the initial email with the process details, I was invited to a technical interview. It felt straightforward. I joined a live video call and worked through a live data structures and algorithms test. Once the time was up, I received feedback on my performance. Overall, it was a good, well-run experience. I also liked that the setup felt modern and smooth, so I could focus on the w…

  • Karat Software Engineer interview with a rigid one-hour technical screenKarat · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Apr 2026

    My first contact involved scheduling and then a technical screen. The format felt time-boxed and rigid. I had a hard one-hour window, and the interaction style made it difficult to build momentum. We started with a quick setup where I was asked to explain my background in about a minute. The rest of the session became a quiz with multiple abstract scenarios, and I had to come up with solutions. A…

After I passed, I was invited almost immediately to schedule the actual interview. The main technical interview was a live online video session that lasted about an hour. It combined discussion and analysis questions with a system desig…

  • Karat Software Engineer interview: written Splunk exam and video problemKarat · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Online Assessment · Jun 2024
    Rejected

    I started with a written exam sent by email. It focused directly on Splunk-related engineering topics. I completed it and thought I had passed, so I moved on to a video round where I solved a problem during the call. Even after that, I couldn't move forward, and the rejection left me more puzzled than informed. What bothered me most was the uncertainty about the role. I didn't know which position…
