Process
Incredibly rude and unprofessional.
I provided a good solution to my first on-site question. I explained my logic and programmed it in C++, one of the options.
I had about 5 minutes left and had to debug a couple of errors, but the interviewer said, "I don't know C++, but your logic looks good so we can end here." They then gave me my time for the next round.
When I showed up for the next round (which I'd taken time out of my day for), it was the same interviewer who stated, "Due to performance in the first question, we've decided not to continue the interview."
I was literally told that my logic was fine. I feel like my time and dignity have been taken advantage of.
Ridiculous.

C3.ai Work Experiences
- 2.0Management and processes are garbageSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeGuadalajara, Jalisco, MexicoJuly 19, 2023Pros: The pay is good. People are nice, and it's usually very comfortable overall.Cons: Performance metrics are stupid. They insist on measuring your sprint completion rate, and your job depends on it. The problem is, this is very inconsistent. Any dependency, problem, or situation that comes up will not be very relevant to adjust the metric. Ergo, carry-overs are unforgivable to management. There are a ton of missing roles and departments. We have the budget for extravagant outings, weekly company-paid lunches, and $5k USD MacBooks, but not for an HR department. We also lack a lot of administrative staff, such as having a SCRUM master, enough DevOps, and actual resources that would improve our working experience. It's important to note all these missing roles end up being some random engineer's responsibility.
