Applied AI Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
A few months ago, when I got accepted, they did a work trial. Now I believe they have multiple rounds of take-home assignments, which I heard from colleagues. They may ask you about AI-related topics and test your skills in AI-assisted coding.
