Browse independent practice aligned to Cursor: coding, system design, and project practice. Rehearse reading an unfamiliar codebase, directing an AI assistant, reviewing generated changes, and keeping correctness and tests in your own hands.
Use these reports to choose what to rehearse, not to predict a fixed loop. Formats vary by role, team, and date; confirm your current process with the recruiter. Frontier Rehearsal is independent and not company-endorsed.
According to candidate reports, Cursor's frontend process starts with a fairly standard first round, while the onsite is described as very hard and difficult to prepare for; interviewers favour practical problems over pure LeetCode or frontend trivia, and back-channel references are checked after the onsite.
Open permanent linkCandidates report that Cursor has been phasing out its two-day in-office feature-building stage, although some candidates are still told to expect a two-day in-office round.
