Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

October 1, 2018

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online and recruiter got in contact and scheduled a phone screen with a senior person in the IT dept.
Phone screen was basically a run thru the resume and asked basic questions and ended in 20 min. I figured that the interviewer was expected someone with more experience than what I had. Got a reject after a couple of days.

C3.ai Work Experiences

Great environment if you know what you want

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Redwood City, California, United States

December 4, 2021

Pros: Pretty consistent hours as long as you aren't in a customer-facing role (FDE, SE). Real chance for meaningful career progression and comp growth where low YOE doesn't matter too much, as long as you're willing to work for it and can demonstrate leadership. A management which generally cares that you work on meaningful product and features with high visibility. Team is built with many smart people. Highly collaborative environment. * Free lunch * Onsite gym * Weekly happy hours * Holiday parties

Cons: No work-from-home policy, largely driven by CEO. This is a big turnoff for many, but early in one's career, this shouldn't matter much.

Absolutely wonderful work environment for high achievers

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Management that actually values and takes care of its employees. Frequent feedback from managers and peers. Engineers have the opportunity to improve their own skills. * Free breakfast and lunch * Free access to the gym Reasonable workload. Respectful workplace. Motivated co-workers.

Cons: No work-from-home policy, which is communicated during the interview process. Personally, I'm okay with it since everyone knows how effective engineers are at home. * Limited number of sick days and PTOs per year. * C3 is a fast-growing company, so there are some growing pains. * No 401k matching.
