I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at C3 AI (Redwood City, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Horrible interview experience, please dont waste your time interviewing for this company. First, the recruiter doesn't give you any info about the type of interviews, even after repeatedly emailing her, not responsive at all.
Round 1 - Behavioral with HM
Round 2 - Hackerrank OA
Round 3, 4 - DS and Algo (Leetcode style questions)
Round 5 - System design
Didnt make it to the system design round even after acing the DS and Algo round. Recieved a rejection email without any feedback even after the previous interviewer told me she was impressed with my technical skills. The second interviewer was also speaking in a very rude, condescending tone. Waste of time and very unprofessional behavior. Also, the reviews on Blind for this company is bad, wlb is bad

I applied online. I interviewed at C3 AI (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process wasn’t hard. However, my system design interview got cancelled two times and I was told it would be HLD based round, but the interviewer asked me a low level design question. I had not prepared for it at all. The coding round was very very very easy and I passed it without any problem.
The recruiters also almost never reply to you if you have any questions about the interview process
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at C3 AI in Dec 2025
Interview
One round with manager with behavior questions before the technical ones.
There was no salary range discussion or information about the role. Then 2 technical rounds for coding and system design. The interviewer of first round did not show up and the 2nd round was with a manager to implement a design system, the interview ends right in the middle since the manger says something like: "Work more on your design skills and we will consider you later". The interviewer was very impatient and lacks communication skills. I don't think they give any respect to the candidate's time and effort, avoid if you have another opportunity.
