Software Engineer Interview Experience - Brazil

Process

I was invited to a System Design interview with an AI, but before starting, the system required access to the camera, microphone, and full screen sharing.

There was no human interviewer involved, just the AI. This made me uncomfortable, as it was unclear why so much access was necessary and how my data would be handled.

The page stated that “data is not used to train AI models,” but still required video, audio, and screen permissions — which I consider excessive for a technical test.

I am still evaluating whether I should proceed with the process.
