      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      13 Jan 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at OpenAI

      Interview

      Reached out by recruiter. Had a phone call, mentioned I had interviewed with them in the past (it was almost 2 years back). Got rejected for the past interviews. Should not have reached out if policy doesn't allow for reinterview. Almost all companies have ban for 1 year but 2 years sound extreme. If you are not prepared properly, please don't take interviews is my takeaway.
