I applied online. I interviewed at Postman (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
My recruiter at Postman was very friendly and communicative. I felt like he did a good job setting interview and job expectations. I had one round with the hiring manager, then 3 onsite interviews (one system design, one coding, and one behavioral). Overall a very positive experience!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview is very practical. You are given a case study describing a real-world problem and are assessed on how you would design a solution (analyzing trade offs, making smart assumptions, understanding system design, etc) . Then later you have a coding interview implementing a piece of this solution. The behavioral is on various topics like dealing with uncertainty, how you work with customer teams, and more.
The interview process for the FDE role was both challenging and collaborative, with five rounds that gave me a real sense of how passionate and driven the teams are about their work. Throughout the entire journey, Sal Khan was my recruiter and truly one of the best I have worked with. He moves fast, keeps everything transparent, and was proactive and supportive, always checking in and making the experience smooth. Above all, he was warm and easy to talk to, setting a positive tone that made the whole process even better

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Postman (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Interview process was incredible! Consisted of a recruiter call, system design problem, technical implementation round, and a CTO conversation. Sal Khan was my recruiter throughout the whole process, and made sure to keep me updated every step of the way! It was a really streamlined and wonderful process, dug into all the necessary skills and conversations around the job without repeating similar rounds

Although I didn't receive an offer, it was great interviewing with the team. The interview format consisted of Recruiter Round -> Hiring Manager round -> Onsite (Case Study, Executive Interview, and Technical round based on case study).
The company has ambitious plans to expand to the enterprise level, and everyone I spoke with showed genuine passion for its mission and goals. The hiring manager is someone that wants you to succeed and will go out of his way to help you.
Sal Khan was my recruiter and he was great. He actively advocated for me and worked to support me throughout the process.
