The most confusing interview process I've had.
- The recruiting team reached out, I wanted to learn more about the positions. They insisted me to send the resume with details on education, for my bachelor and masters (what degree/which school/when/etc.) .... keep in mind I was in school 9+ years ago!
- No talk with hiring manager at at all, straight to semi-onsite interview .... 3 sessions scheduled, 45 min each
- They asked me to study the company and product to show my interests during the interview
- No idea which of these 3 interviews were supposed to be coding Vs architecture ... but that's fine
- First 2 interviews done (I'm definitely not satisfied with how I wrote the code)
- I joined the last interview, and then instead of interview, the recruiting team comes in and say they think I'm not a good fit, which on it's own is fine, but this is definitely not how I would describe the smoothest process
- They also told me that I could "apply again" if I want to.
Not the best interview process you can imagine for sure, and not the way to create in company.
3 Rounds.
(INTERVIEW IS HELD IN ENGLISH)
1st Round: Screening, talk about your cv, study enough to have mastery over the subjects your projects cover. Investigate company values, why you want to join.
2nd Round: 60 min technical live coding interview. Depending on position it ranges from a leetcode medium to a hard.
3rd Round: Didnt get thru, Ive heard its a intro systems design interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode medium, string manipulation type of question.
Technical interviews, they ask coding and algorithmic problems, there is also a soft skills section with STAR like questions. Results come back fast, which I think was nice. Usually there are three rounds of interviews
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at C3 AI (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in Apr 2025
