Plaid Customer Success Engineer interview with an email technical assessment

I interviewed about two weeks before I heard back, and the process felt pretty lightweight. I started with a technical assessment over email, followed by an interview with the hiring manager.

What stood out was how the hiring manager handled the conversation. It didn’t feel much like a discussion. It felt more like I was expected to work through a list of questions while they answered whatever I asked. I left unsure whether my questions mattered, which was discouraging given how much effort it had taken to get through the earlier step.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
