Process
If there's one company that's managed to push my buttons with their interviews, it's c3.ai. The whole process felt extremely disrespectful to interviewees and their time.
After spending over three weeks and having more than five interviews, they ghost you without any regard for you or your time. Career growth in the company is not good, based on my interaction. They will try to lowball and suggest you take a lower title.
In my case, they rejected me after all that, with no explanation. Soulless management views candidates as dispensable and has no regard, giving nothing back for the time or effort spent pursuing their role.
The recruiter neither reads nor responds to emails during and after the whole ordeal. No suggestions or feedback were given, despite me asking multiple times. I have nothing to take back after spending a lot of time in their process.
Questions
Technical questions are of average difficulty. It's the behavioral round you should be wary of.

Fantastic team, great office, and work environment
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Redwood City, California, United States
July 19, 2014
Pros: I joined the team after meeting the very bright minds C3 Energy has within their engineering department. It's great to work in a challenging environment that doesn't seem to get boring.
Constantly new product developments keep the job exciting, and there is no shortage of technical challenges and options to take my career into any direction. Engineers are encouraged (and rewarded financially) to take additional training, as opposed to other companies where one has to beg to receive training.
The executive team is very strong and experienced, with a board of directors second to none. Consequently, the company is very successful and grows at a very high pace.
I love the office location, layout, and lighting. Having breakfast and catered lunch every day is obviously also really nice, and fortunately, the fitness center on campus allows one to still keep in shape. All around, a really nice working environment.
Cons: 100% dedication is expected from all employees. If you don't love what you are doing and are not passionate about your work, this fast-paced environment at C3 Energy might not be a good fit.

Great engineering culture and challenging machine learning tasks
Senior Manager, Machine Learning Engineering • Current Employee
Redwood City, California, United States
November 30, 2020
Pros: Great company if you thrive in a rapidly growing organization with an ever-changing set of machine learning tasks across industries. Driven engineers with an open mind, where everyone is respected. Agile development is not just an abstract concept but actively put to work.
Cons: Priorities can shift quickly from one product increment to another.
DevOps responsibilities are shared, which occasionally causes disruptions.
We are hiring ;-)

Empowerment in Spades
Engineering Manager • Current Employee
Redwood City, California, United States
February 5, 2022
Pros: Incredibly bright, collaborative coworkers excited to challenge themselves and learn from those around them.
Interesting projects, engaged customers, and a grand vision for simplifying and scaling Enterprise AI.
Employees are empowered and entrusted with high-priority projects, decisions, and contributions.
Cons: The C3 AI drive is infectious. Individual employees will need to establish their own work-life balance that works for them; it won't necessarily be created for them. That doesn't mean it's not possible to do at the company, and the collective drive is a great energy to be a part of and surrounded by.
