I applied online. I interviewed at Cerebras (CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview process itself was average. I applied, there were 4 total rounds with 2 coding and 2 behavioral that took about a month to complete. Each interview ended with enthusiasm and upon completing the final interview, I was pretty confident everything went well. Unfortunately, the recruiter stopped responding after this and there were no responses to any follow ups.
