I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CoStar Group (San Diego, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Interview process begins with a phone screen with a recruiter. From there, you will go into a 30 minute call with a hiring manager and talk about your technical expertise at a high level.
If you pass this interview, you will be invited to an on-site power day. Here you will engage in a single interview with another hiring manager that last around an hour. You will be asked a mix of behavioral questions and in -depth technical questions about your expertise.
No leetcode.
