I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Intuition in Nov 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, described the company, emphasized that everyone works 50+ hrs, and are required to come in M-F, which I am okay with.
First technical screen for 45 mins, a medium leetcode question, a lot of follow ups.
Virtual Onsite: group introduction 30 mins, 4 leetcode questions back to back, medium, medium, medium, hard. Great interviewers, excited to chat and work with you on the problems. Each question has 2 -3 followups.
Leads Chat: chat with 2 tech leads/EMs, talked about experience from high school to the current point. Great chat with the EMs.
Recruiter asked for reference from my previous manager.
Got a rejection call the next business day, saying they are moving forward with other candidates. Recruiter refused to offer any feedback, and explained that they get preliminary feedback first to speed up moving through the rounds, and then have a detailed debrief at the end to analyze the candidate's strengths and weaknesses.
