What is Formation?

Formation is a technical interview prep platform for experienced software engineers targeting senior and staff-level roles. It combines an adaptive practice engine covering algorithms, system design, and AI-assisted coding with mock interviews and one-to-one mentorship from staff-level engineers and hiring managers. Fellows also get job recommendations, negotiation support, and career coaching until they sign an offer. The product is sold through paid plans, and the site lists pricing as a separate page. It is aimed at engineers who already have industry experience rather than beginners entering the field.
