Recruiter screen was simple questions about past experience and your resume and fit for the role. Technical interview was not too difficult. You need to know C++ for this role
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PlusAI (Santa Clara, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
They did not have an HR or behavioral interview, directly went to 3 rounds of coding interviews, after which they ghosted me. The first round the interviewer did not ever come on camera and was pretty rude. The second and third rounds were alright. I was initially told the second round was the final round but within an hour of the second round they wanted to schedule me for a third round. And then they did not even have the courtesy to let me know the status. Horrible experience.
I applied through the company’s online portal and, within three weeks, heard back from a recruiter who scheduled a technical phone interview. The recruiter was friendly and took about 10–15 minutes to walk me through the role, the team’s focus, and the overall interview loop. Soon after, I received a calendar invite for the technical screen.
