Senior AI Engineer Interview Experience - McLean, Virginia

December 5, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 3 months.

  • Recruiter Screening
  • Coding Assessment (offline)
  • Powerday (2 technical, 1 behavioral, 1 case study)
  • Team matching

I completed my technical interviews in September and was told I had passed. I then had a team-matching conversation with a manager. After that, I didn’t hear anything for weeks. I waited almost two months after the team-matching round with no proactive communication. I was repeatedly told that everything was fine but still awaiting senior leadership approval when I followed up on it.

Despite consistently positive signals, I was finally informed in December that senior leadership did not approve the hire. I’ve since read many similar experiences on Glassdoor. I wish I had seen them earlier and avoided wasting so much time. While I understand that internal approvals can be complicated, a clearer timeline and more consistent communication would have made the process far more transparent and respectful of candidates’ time.
