Harvey coding interview
Round 4 of 7 · 10 questions reported
- Length
- 60 min
- Format
- Live practical coding
- They grade
- Structure, edge cases and how you take hints; a follow-up changes a constraint
- AI use
- Candidates report freedom to use the tools and languages they know; confirm with your recruiter
- Heads-up
- Reported problems include finding every occurrence of a phrase in a long document and merging intervals. Interviewers run their own, sometimes hidden, tests, and recent loops expect bug-free code. ML roles get a Colab round on a small RAG pipeline instead.
