Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Typical SWE process consisting of a recruiter chat, a technical screen, API design & data modeling, and finally an onsite.
The recruiter told me that the onsite is a full day (8 hours) at the Hebbia office, where you will have to create and deploy an app from scratch given some requirements. Kind of insane and not worth the time in my opinion.

HebbiaAI Work Experiences
- 3.0Only join if you want to grind or don't botherSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJuly 19, 2025Pros: - Smart and humble colleagues - Lunch every day in the office - Uber rides home after 8pmCons: Many execs and ICs leave or are pushed out after 6-8 months of tenure. Their average tenure is 0.8 years (Source: LinkedIn). Take that for what you will. No onboarding when I joined; things have improved since then. Sink or swim culture; I don't see much collaboration happening. High-pressure environment as big players like Anthropic and OpenAI unveil their own product offerings in research and agentic-AI. Five days a week in the office, with no flexibility on this. Pay is mid compared to other players.
- 5.0Amazing people, culture, missionSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJuly 17, 2023Pros: A meritocratic culture with some of the sharpest, kindest people I have ever met or worked with.Cons: Very high bar for work product, effort, and attitude.
