Had the chance to talk to two engineers in the team and followed by technical phone screen with live coding using repl.it! Got good response but they do not sponsor visa.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Simon AI (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
60 mins tech interview 30 mins behavioral. Interview was held over zoom due to covid19. Started with a behavioral then move on to hackerrank pair coding. Ended with behavioral again. Difficulty probably leetcode easy-medium level.
Long and difficult hackerrank + many, many interviews. Double the amount of interviews that Google had me do, in fact. Positive feedback at every step of the way, including from the CTO, then a generic rejection email. Over 2-month long process. Probably wouldn't have done it if I knew I'd have to jump through so many hoops.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Simon AI in Nov 2019
Interview
I was sent a 4 question coding challenge to complete in 2 hours. Upon passing, I was invited to complete a technical interview with a current employee via video call.
