How it works
Paste the job link
Any role, technical or not: engineering, product, design, data, marketing, analyst roles, and more. A company name and job title work too.
We find out how they interview
We read the company’s own hiring pages, its current job postings, and what recent candidates shared, then lay out the rounds you’ll face and what each one tests.
Practice every round like the real thing
An interviewer runs each round at full length, asks follow-up questions, and then shows you what went well and what to work on before the real thing.
We research the company’s interview process first
Most prep starts with a list of questions, and that list wasn’t written for your job. We start from the job link instead and show you the rounds, so you spend your time on the round you’re actually going to face.
Online Analytical Assessment
Written exercise · 40 min practice
Measure practical quantitative reasoning and data interpretation before PowerDay without requiring software-engineering coding.
What they look for
- Efficient quantitative approach
- Business math and data interpretation
- Timed completion and checking
What a strong answer does
- Write formulas and label assumptions before calculating.
- Check units, signs, and result size before submission.
Mock interview feedback that shows you what to change
A score tells you how you did. After every round, we show you why, and how to answer better next time.
- Interviewer
Tell me about a time you used evidence to gain support for a recommendation that another group did not initially favor.
- You
Sure. At my internship the ops team wanted to keep weekly returns audits, and I recommended moving to a sampled audit. I pulled six months of return data showing 94% of flagged cases were clean, then walked their lead through it.
A useful starting number. It shows the situation before you acted.
- Interviewer
So you had the data side covered. What did the ops lead actually say?
- You
She pushed back at first because a missed fraud case had burned them last year, so I proposed keeping full audits for high-value returns and sampling the rest for one month as a trial.
Still needed: what the trial achieved
- Interviewer
The trial design is where I’ll leave that story for now — I’d have wanted to hear how the month played out.
Your answer, put in the order they listen for
We take what you actually said, tidy the wording lightly, and put it in the order an interviewer follows a story. Nothing new is made up for you: where a piece is missing, it’s marked so you know exactly what to add next time.
Sure. In a class project our design partner wanted to ship screens first, and I pushed to test the riskiest flow with five users before building anything.
She was skeptical, but agreed once I offered to run the five sessions myself that week so the build schedule did not slip.
She worried that if testing found problems we would lose a week redesigning, and the demo date was fixed.
Backed by what you said
Every point quotes your own words and links to that moment in the conversation, so you can see exactly where it came from.
Where you stand on each skill
Each skill the round looks at is marked as went well or worth another go, so you know what to keep and what to work on.
Code and whiteboards, line by line
In coding and design rounds, feedback points to the lines you wrote or the part of the board it’s talking about.
Then practice just that
Your next step is a focused 20-minute round on that one skill. A later full round shows whether it stuck.
Stuck mid-answer? Say “Hey coach.”
Turn on hints before a round and a private coach sits in with you. Type @coach in the chat, or in a voice round just say “Hey coach,” and ask for what you need.
- @coach how should I structure this part?
- @coach what does unit economics mean?
- @coach I’m blanking. Where do I start?
The coach nudges you toward your own answer instead of handing you one, and the interviewer never sees it. Lean on it while you learn, then turn it off for a round that counts.
Try a round with the coach- You
Last spring I worked at the campus dining office. Every Friday the manager reordered produce at last week’s levels, and we were throwing out a lot of greens and berries. I pulled ten weeks of order sheets and waste logs into one spreadsheet and found the waste spiked on exam weeks and long weekends. My manager wasn’t convinced, because running out of salad gets more complaints than waste.
- Interviewer
That’s the interesting tension — waste against complaints. So what did you do next to get past that objection?
Coach · the interviewer never sees this
@coach How do I show I won her over without it sounding like I just got lucky?
The “lucky” feeling usually comes from skipping straight from your finding to her agreement. Keep the middle visible: what you did after her objection, how you tested or reframed it, and what she then said or did. What was your next concrete move after she raised the complaint risk?
How an AI mock interview compares
The usual options are a generic question list or a paid mock interview with a coach. Here’s where RoundHound sits.
| What you get | Question lists | Paid mock interview | RoundHound |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built around how this company interviews | Rarely | Depends on the coach | Yes, researched for every job |
| Full rounds with follow-up questions | No | Yes | Yes |
| Feedback on your answers | No | Yes | Yes, quoted from what you said, after every round |
| Help when you get stuck mid-answer | No | Yes | Yes, a private coach you can call on |
| Ready when you are, even at midnight | Yes | Booked in advance | Yes |
| Cost | Free | Often $150 or more a session | Free to start, $15 for a week |

Questions people ask
Are these the company’s real interview questions?
No, and that’s on purpose. We research how the company interviews: the rounds, their order, the topics, and the kinds of questions recent candidates describe. The practice questions are our own, written to match that shape, so you build the skill instead of memorizing someone else’s answers.
What if there isn’t much written about my company?
You still get a full plan. We fill the gaps from how similar teams interview for the same role, and every plan lists the sources it was built from, so you can see what came from the company and what came from its peers.
Which companies can I practice for?
Any company with a job you can link to: paste it and we research how that company interviews for the role. For the companies we’ve already researched, such as Amazon, Google, Stripe, and Capital One, there’s also a free guide to how they interview.
Which roles does it work for?
Any role with a structured interview, technical or not: software engineering, product management, design, data, business analysis, marketing, program management, and more. It fits best from internships and first jobs through mid-career roles. Paste the job link and the research adapts to it.
Is it useful for internships and new grad jobs?
Yes, and that’s where practice helps most. We look up how the company interviews students and new grads for that role, which is often different from its experienced-hire interviews. Then you practice telling stories from classes, projects, clubs, and part-time work, with an interviewer who asks the follow-up questions a real one would. It works the same way if you’re a few years in or switching careers.
Is the interviewer an AI?
Yes. Every round is a mock interview with an AI interviewer, researched for the company and role you’re preparing for. If you’d rather practice with a person, you can invite a friend or mentor to take the interviewer’s seat instead.
How does a practice round work?
You talk with an interviewer in your browser, by voice or by typing. It listens, asks follow-up questions, gives you time to think, and brings a whiteboard or code editor when the round needs one. If you turn on hints, you can also ask a private coach for help by typing @coach or saying “Hey coach.” The interviewer never sees what you ask.
What does the feedback include?
Every round ends with feedback built from what you actually said. You see where you stand on each skill the round looks at, what went well and what to work on, each point quoted from your answers and linked to that moment in the conversation. Where an answer could be stronger, we put what you said in the order an interviewer listens for, lightly tidied, and mark what’s missing. For the skill you’re working on, you also get a short study guide and a focused practice round.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Start free with one job and 60 minutes of practice. If you want more, a pass covers 7 or 30 days and simply ends, so there’s nothing to cancel.
